Hi Darren,
I was just wondering if there is any way we can get sight of our own exam papers after they have been marked? I think it would reassure people that they are being marked fairly based on what we have been taught, and also that people could see what they got wrong in order to improve for resits? Is this a possibility you could kindly look into for us?
Kind regards
Bex
Thanks for the swift response Darren, it is appreciated.
I think it's a shame, as I think seeing their wrong answers may help people improve and prepare for next time, if they're going to revise in the same way for the resit, then they could potentially have their info mixed up and lack clarity on what they need to improve on... if they think they're right when they answer the question, they are likely to answer the same if asked again :(
My other point about wrong/right answers... my worry is that if there is a discrepancy between our teaching and what is actually the correct answer, and this hasn't been picked up by us and raised during revision, what do the RSPH mark us based on.... the actual correct answer or the answer based on the material we have had delivered? We can't raise it if we havent noticed the discrepancy during revision, and will never know whether we were given the mark or not as we can't access our marked exam paper.... hopefully you can see where I'm coming from, every mark matters to our lovely little group and I'm just worried about missing out on marks :(
For example using the error I just highlighted.... would the RSPH mark us as correct for answering "Corpus Collosum" as that was what was delivered and presumably the answer you would have been expecting having delivered the material, or do the RSPH have their own list of answers and therefore we would be marked as incorrect for stating "Corpus Collosum"?
Kind regards

Hi Rebecca – unfortunately not – you can request that papers be re-marked if you think the mark was incorrect. But we would need this is writing form you line manager and the justification (as there is a cost to us).
The papers that have been reviewed have indeed been the correct mark -and most candidates do in fact fail because they either put insufficient / incorrect information, spelling so poor that the marker does not know what the word is or just mix up their answers / wrong order.
Should there be a discrepancy whereby you have been taught something different to the expected answer (or not coverall at all) - I am sure this will be raised to the RSPH.
May I take this opportunity to reassure all candidates that papers are marked fairly!
Kind regards,
Darren
