Failing an exam might feel like the end of the world. But it definitely isn’t the end of the road. With the ICB exam rewrite, you’ll get a second chance to achieve your accredited qualification. Success is still within your reach. So take the leap and earn the marks you deserve.
ICB Exam Rewrite
Didn’t get top results? Don’t stress, there are still options if you failed your ICB exam. That’s right, you qualify for the ICB exam rewrite. This is also known as the supplementary exam. It gives you the opportunity to meet the pass requirements to be deemed as ‘competent’ for the subject you failed. This applies to students who wrote either the paper-based and online exam.
When to Apply
As soon as possible! You will need to re-register for a new exam date. If this date is still within the same calendar year, you won’t need to redo your ICB portfolio of evidence (PoE). You will have to apply and rewrite the exam all within 12-months of when you wrote the first exam.
ICB Exam Rewrite Fees
Think your original ICB exam course fees will cover your rewrite? Well since you will re-enter and rewrite the exam, you will need to pay the full exam fees again.
Coursework you Will be Assessed on
This is one of the reasons why you need to complete the ICB exam rewrite ASAP. The ICB updates their coursework each year. You could be assessed on similar content you have completed that year. But you need to make sure you are up-to-date on any new coursework in that subject.
Exam Rules
Even though you will be rewriting the exam, the same exam rules apply. This is for both the paper and online exams. This includes the pass requirements.
What if you Fail the ICB Exam Rewrite?
If you fail the exam rewrite, you will not be able to rewrite the exam for a third time. You will need to redo the entire subject as well as complete a new PoE. But rest assured. You’ll have another chance to succeed in your course and reach your study goals.
Please note: This does not apply to the Research Theory and Practice (RTAP). If you fail the rewrite, you will need to complete a new dissertation.
ICB Pass Requirements
Want to know if you’ve hit the mark? Then get up to speed on the ICB pass requirements. If you are competent, it means you have passed your course. But if your results are not yet competent, unfortunately you have failed. So if you want to pass, you need to achieve at least:
- 50% in your ICB final exam
- 60% as your overall ICB course pass mark
