　　高顿网校小编为您介绍CGA Introduction:　　Overview of the Education Examinations Process

　　CGA examinations have the purpose of evaluating whether a student has demonstrated the core competencies required of a newly certified CGA or required to continue in higher level courses of the Program at an appropriate performance level.
 

　　Each year a complete examination set and the corresponding suggested solutions are prepared by a CGA course examiner. Each CGA examiner is a highly qualified academic from the university community or a well-recognized practitioner in the discipline of study.  In some cases, the examiner is also the course author. In collaboration with the course author, the examiner will prepare a practice examination for the current academic year.
 

　　Once an examiner has prepared the complete examination set (that is, all examinations required for a course throughout the year) and the corresponding suggested solutions, they are reviewed by subject matter experts. These reviews include independent content and quality control reviews by CGA-Canada staff. In addition, reviews of certification examinations are performed by two separate committees of subject matter experts administered by regional associations. The purpose of these reviews is to ensure each examination has appropriate content coverage, relationship to course material, form, accuracy, and clarity. A designated committee chair is responsible for resolving any difficulties directly with the examiner.
 

　　In the Foundation and Advanced Levels of the Program, the exam mark does not determine the final course grade.  Combined marks from course work plus weighted exam mark comprise the final grade. On the other hand, in the PACE Level, the exam mark alone determines the final course grade.  In the PACE Level, to pass a course an exam mark of 65% or higher is required, with the exception of the PA exams which do not receive percentile marks. A mark of P (pass), F (fail), H (honours), or S (Supplemental Exam Entitlement) is assigned to PA writers based on assessment of competencies covered in AU1, AT1, FA4, FN1, TX1, and MA2.
 

　　After the examinations are written, the papers are sent to the examiner for marking. If a large number of papers must be marked, the examiner selects and supervises a marking team. When a marking team is required, one marker marks the same question on each paper. This process is designed to ensure fairness and uniformity in the marking. After all the papers have been marked, the examiner reviews all examination papers in which the final course mark is in the range of 63% and 64%.
 

　　Finally, CGA-Canada conducts quality control checks on each failing examination paper through a RE-ADD process to eliminate the occurrence of clerical errors. This process focuses on the following types of errors:

　　1.incorrect addition of marks

　　2.omission of marks for a question or part of a question

　　3.credit not given for a correct answer
 

　　The final course marks results are reviewed by the National Education Committee.
 

　　The regional or representation CGA office releases the marks online on the same day that they are received from the National Office.  On that day, students can view their exam marks in their online MyCGA Web Services account under Course History.
 

　　Students with any concerns regarding a question(s) on an examination which they have written, should e-mail their regional or representation CGA office immediately with an explanation of the concern.
