Spredsheet Results

Has anyone else done the spreadsheet CBP with Kaplan Distance Learning? How long did your results take? I took the exam almost two weeks ago and I'm already starting to get twitchy so I'd like to know how long it usually takes Kaplan to get them marked!

I think it takes about 4 weeks to get your results.
I have got my exam in a fortnight's time. What would you suggest are the main topics that I need to concentrate on?
Thanks
Many thanks indeed for that info, ajm.
Good luck with your studies and if you ever need help or discuss the coursework, you can always PM me.
"There is a slight delay but I have contacted the assessor for an update. I have asked her to prioritise your assessment.
Thank you for your patience."
I won't hold my breath!
I had to chase the last 2 results and found 4 1/2 months after the assessment that they had lost one of my answer sheets but had not bothered to contact me to say this. I wonder how long it would have taken them to contact me if I had not been looking for my results.
Seriously thinking about changing to BPP after AP1 as the book and revision notes are riddled with errors that I have been given error sheets to correct myself.
We used Kaplan last year and found the same problems, lots of errors. Using BPP this year, used 5 books so far and only 1 mistake, so fingers crossed.
How are you finding AP1, i did a quick practice on the study zone last night and only go 10%........seriously need to do some extra work

It can take me up to 2 hours to mark a single assessment
In terms of my marking these are very time consuming, the marking criteria is detailed.
If you assessor is taking the marking seriously, the chances are that he/she is finding it very time consuming too
Please bear with her/him. I would certainly prefer an accurate professional assessment to a fast one. Obviously if you can have a fast and accurate one then that is wonderful.

Good luck to all those waiting for results and those studying this unit. If you know your basic formula you will be ok. Just make sure you read the instructions (obvious I know but sometimes its very easy to ignore) ie formatting, font size etc and you will gain valuable points.
I really enjoyed this unit. Hope you all do too.

I asked my tutors and all they said is that they are severly under staffed and overworked and that there is a huge backlog of exams that need to be marked from August & September.. I also sat my WEAF in August and only had the results come through AAT at the end of last month and so waiting for my Level 2 cert still.....
Not holding my breath!
Oh well...........wait for result whenever that is, took them 11 weeks to mark WEAF.
Now to study the next....ethics 16th December

This is why I hate Learnplus exams! God, that really is off putting! Did any of you make a complaint?
Good luck for ethics - just a straight forward CBA, so you won't have to worry about downloading anything!
Hi Louise, no we didn't bother to make it official but made our feelings known.

Marking spreadsheets assessments is very time consuming.
Chichester College has come up with one way to try to make it bearable.
I sympathise with those students waiting for results and with the assessors who are having to mark their assessments.
I would be concerned (and possibly very impressed) with any where able to mark a whole class within 2 weeks. I think I'll need everyday of a two week window to do the job properly.
