Does anyone know if the borderline result is a good or bad thing? Is it borderline over the pass mark or borderline under the pass mark?

Hi Derek,
I'm pretty sure borderline means you have gained half the marks needed for a task or not enough marks gained for overall competency but the marks will still count towards your overall pass mark. From memory I think the pass mark is set at 70% for the level 4 exams. So having too many borderlines could essentially be a bad thing, depending on how the examiners mark the
exam.
Hope this helps a bit

Aaron is correct in that a borderline means that you have not proved competency in that question and lots of borderlines means a No No for a pass as you will not have reached 70% overall. On this subject there has been a suggestion that Pass, Merit and Distinction may be coming in but that there has been horrified reaction to giving a percentage grade. This begs the question as to why as the qualification is no longer an NVQ and that all the sponsoring bodies issue their results as percentages.0

Thanks guys. It's all a bit confusing and I find that the feedback doesn't really help at all. It's also a bit annoying that we can't get access to it ourselves?!
I personally believe that the exams being marked at Pass, Merit & Distinction is a good idea. I think that would encourage people to study harder for them. Espeically if your bosses want to find out how well you're doing - I know I would. Doesn't really go too well with just failing one though.
Having a meeting with my tutor this afternoon so will find out exactly what's going wrong!!0
