Slow Grader

[beeitt]

I submitted my FA on 20/11, and it has been 7 weeks.

I wonder does anyone else submitted your FA after me and have received their result.

I am truly pissed of with SoA. They are really disorganized. And when they could not complete their tasks, it seems like we cant do nothing about it but complaint to ourselves. Luckily, it will only happen once.

See the "Final Assessments Results" thread.

Many people have submitted after you and received their results. However, other people have waited longer than 7 weeks and still do not have results. I submitted on the 20th of November as well and still have yet to hear anything. Hang in there - I'm sure your results will be in soon.

I submitted mine on 11/16....no results yet. Is a delayed result usually a Fail?

Maybe you are on your third grader. People that have submitted after you and have received their results may have passed on the first grader.

People have waited longer than you. Hope you pass

nope, you paper has prob been failed by the first grader. The longer your results take now; the better off you are.

I would say waiting more than 6 weeks means two graders most likely disagreed (first failed, second passed). So it could be a good thing when it takes this long to grade; as your paper is most likely going to a third grader to break the tie.

I submitted 11/20 and am still waiting, too.

Based on wc's data and posts from this weekend, I get the median wait time for Nov submissions to be 45 days, while Oct's was 25 - if only I had known...

Emm, so it is not necessary the issue that we have failed the first grader.

Just the matter of waiting list?

Not sure what you're asking. If you're asking if waiting so long necessarily means you've failed the first grader, then no, it doesn't. Our papers were assigned to different volunteer graders who may or may not have a lot of time depending on their own work and vacation schedule. Some graders are really efficient. Results have been taking a lot longer recently, possibly because of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

In another thread, Bruce said if you've been waiting 4-5 weeks, chances are high that you're paper needed to be re-graded.

This makes sense if you think about it. SOA tells all FA candidates that they will receive result within 7 weeks. If grading queue details are hidden from graders (they don't know it's a re-grade), they should have no change to their standard sense of urgency to finish grading. If a paper is with the grader after 3 weeks - on average - then we would have a lot more people that get results after 7 weeks!

However, SOA might minimize this by running a priority queue system, and giving "quick" graders the re-grades without telling them; increasing turnaround time overall.
