Final Exam Regulations - Continuous Professional Development

Marking Scheme:
For every correct answer the candidate shall gain one mark.
For every wrong answer the candidate shall gain zero or no mark, but for every four
attempted wrong answers the candidate shall be deducted one mark.
For every un-attempted question the candidate shall gain no marks.
The total marks for Paper A will be of hundred (100) marks and the pass mark is fifty
(50) percent, that is, 50 marks.
Paper B: Professional Development including Ethics
This section shall comprise two questions focused on this module and candidates shall
have to choose and answer one question from this paper. The rating for this section shall
be of hundred (100) marks and the pass mark is forty five (45) percent (45 marks).
Candidates shall need to obtain a pass mark from both papers as indicated above, in
order to pass the whole examination, hence there shall be no compensation of marks
from one paper to the other.
Examination Procedure
Candidates shall be allocated an examination number for the purpose of anonymity.
However ‘Slip A’ on each answer book and on the MCQs booklet shall include the
candidates’ name and surname and Identity Number.
At the end of the examination all booklets shall be collected by the invigilator/s and
handed to the FHS secretarial staff. In turn, the secretarial staff confidentially shall
allocate an examination number on ‘Slip A’ and ‘Slip B’ for each candidate. ‘Slip A’
shall then be separated from each and every booklet, put in a sealed envelop and put in
the ‘safe’. The booklets shall then be distributed to the corresponding markers for
marking. Hence the markers shall never be in a position to identify any of the candidates
as ‘slip A’ is detached from the booklets.
Examination Dates
Candidates initiating their course in the month of March shall sit for their final
examination by the third week of June of the following year.
