Wow, 152 people viewing and not working this morning? Yet, only 54 responded to the PAK?

Not everyone can "recall" their answers. It is uncomfortable "memorizing" answers when you are being proctored one on one, and your proctor is only a couple of feet away... The room I took my exam in was barely bigger than a typical entry level cubicle... Not certain how many others had close quarters for their exam, but the way the FAP is administered makes it less friendly for memorizing answers...

We had a few people taking FAP1 together here, so we had a larger room. The proctor, however, was busy "working" most of the time during the exam.

I am envious of you... I would have liked to be able to recall my answers, but felt too uncomfortable doing so. Not sure what percentage of those viewing the threads are in a similar boat.

I also wish we had a better idea of when to expect results. I have yet to get an exercise graded. If there are a lot of people with no exercises graded yet, then it is likely there will be a longer wait for results this time around than for the August sitting last year - to give them time to finish grading exercises.

Do we know how many people sat for the exam this time? Do we think it is more or less than last time?

about 1000 which is more than last time

Those of you with no modules graded, when did you submit them? I submitted 4 about 5 weeks ago and 5 about 2.5 weeks ago (on the deadline) and my mod 4 exercise was graded about 2 weeks after I submitted it.

I submitted my mod 4 exercise Feb 6 (3.5 weeks ago), and Mod 5 on Feb 12 (2.5 weeks ago) - and have not yet had an exercise graded. Admittedly, I submitted both 4 and 5 were very close to the deadline so I am not surpirsed neither have yet been graded. I just wonder how many of the 1,000 taking the exam were cutting submissions as close (or closer) than I was.

I did not have time to "memorize" my answers.

I submitted Module 5 exercise on the 12th (the deadline). It was graded a week later. Seems like "luck" of the draw as to when they grade them.
