Taking An ICB Exam
Getting ready for your ICB exam might feel scary at first. But once you understand how it works, it becomes much easier. This section explains how long the exams are, what marks you need to pass, and what to do if things don’t go as planned.
How Long Are ICB Exams?
ICB exams are made to give you enough time to do your best. The times are a little different depending on how you write:
- Paper-based exams at a college give you 2 hours.
- Online exams give you 4 hours.
Online exams are longer because you need time to work on a computer. You also have time to check your answers before you finish.
What Is The ICB Pass Mark?
To pass an ICB course subject, you need to get at least 60% overall. If you get less than 60%, you will not pass the subject. But you can try again! There are chances to rewrite the exam.
How Are The Marks Made Up?
Your final mark for each subject comes from two things:
- 30% comes from your Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). This includes three assignments and two online tests. You must finish these before your exam.
- 70% comes from your final exam. You need at least 50% in your exam to pass.
Your PoE and your exam marks are added together. This gives you your final score.
What Happens If You Fail An ICB Exam?
If you do not pass your exam, don’t worry. You do not have to start again from the beginning.
- You can book a re-write for the subject you did not pass.
- If your Portfolio of Evidence is still valid for the year, you don’t have to redo it.
You just need to study a bit more and try again.
How And When To Apply For A Re-write?
You can apply for a re-write by going to the ICB Student Portal. Here is how you do it:
- Log in to the ICB Student Portal.
- Go to My Exams.
- Choose Re-write Exam.
- Follow the steps and pay the re-write fee.
It’s important to book before the closing date. These dates are on the ICB website and in your PoE. Check them early so you don’t miss out.
Taking an ICB exam is a big step towards your future. Knowing how the exam works helps you feel calm and ready.
Now you know how long the exams are, how you are marked, and what to do if you need a re-write.
