Candidates will be notified individually of their examination results, normally about two months after the examinations.
Examination results will not be issued to any candidate who owes annual subscriptions or any money to The Association. ANY outstanding monies must be paid in full.
Successful candidates will be awarded a graded pass in each subject. Credits or Distinctions will be awarded where applicable. All result slips show alphabetical grades; it is not the policy of The Association to disclose marks obtained.
Please see below details of the grades
| grade | result |
|---|---|
| Grade A - 70%+ | Distinction |
| Grade B - 55-69% | Credit |
| Grade C - 40-54% | Pass |
| Grade D - 30-39% | Fail |
| Grade E - 29% and below | Fail |
ABE has in place a wide range of checks and quality assurance procedures to ensure that every student who takes an ABE assessment receives a result which accurately reflects their performance in the assessment.
However, on occasion, a student may consider that their assessment result is not an accurate reflection of their performance. In such cases a student may query or challenge the mark/grade they have received. This enquiry is known as an Appeal.
For information on the ABE Results Enquiries and appeals Policy and how to apply, please go to the Members Area.
An Enquiry about Results (EAR) is the first step for candidates that wish to enquire or challenge their result. If a student wishes to enquire or challenge their result the FORM EAR 1, must be received by ABE, NO LATER than 16 MARCH 2012 (for the December 2011 Exams), and 14 SEPTEMBER 2012 (for the JUNE 2012 Exams), otherwise it will not be processed.
