2014 Exam Review

[Maymoon]

Has anyone had any further news on when the IRSE examiners intend to hold the 2014 exam review? I would be quite keen to attend and hear what the exmainers have to say for last year and the year ahead (syllabus changes etc).

I was advised that it is planned to be held on either 26th, 27th or 30th March but its getting very close to these dates and i've not heard anything!

Please let me know.

At the study day on Saturday it was clear that it won't happen before Easter.
The impression I got was of difficulties confirming when the examiners will be available, plus the YM AGM which generally happens the same day.

Finally arranged; now rather last minute notice for 29th April.

Do any buddy have idea about Who got Thorrowgood scholarship for 2014 Exam?

It was announced at the main IRSE AGM on Friday last week that there was noone who had done sufficiently well across a full set of exam modules to be considered; indeed I believe the examiners also considered candidates who completed this year having done the other modules last year.  Hence there is no 2014 Thorrowgood scholar.

What they did say was that one candidate had done extraordinarily well in the one module which they took and that in recognition they will be awarded a free place at the Aspect 2015 Conference.  That person's name is Dorothy Pipet.

Congrats to Dorothy!

Is there any possibility to get the exam 2014 feedback report like other years?

Thanks.
I'm sure it will become available. The Review was only done last night so we are behind relative to previous years.

I made some scribbles that I may find time to turn into notes over the weekend that I'll put here.  
However since we were promised the Powerpoint slides will be posted on the main IRSE site, I didn't worry about capturing everything written there, but concentrated more on what else was said.  The session was also being videod, so I would expect this to be made available on IRSE website in due course

We are in almost in June, I could not the find the exam review material on the IRSE website, can anyone point me in the right direction or provide a link where they can be down loaded?

The IRSE are never prompt I am afraid; I normally am with my unofficial notes, but this year for a variety of reasons, many of which connected with my paid employment consuming far more hours than it has any right to do, I have not yet been able to complete the write up although I had done half of it weeks ago. The weather forecast for Sunday looks poor which may make me more inclined to stay at home and complete.

 Actually there is little of significance, no changes announced re next year's exam, and really at a generic level the message from examiners the same as ever

1 Be familiar with the syllabus
2 Do your homework reading etc
3 Read the actual question- do not assume that same as last year's or regurgitate text book
4 Practice, practice, practice
5 Get feedback on your attempts
6 Use your time in exam wisely- strict time management
7 make sure really read questions carefully, choose with care and do what it says including state assumptions, provide diagram etc.
Broadly this is the message year after year
