Exam Appeals
Exam Critique
The critique is a critical analysis by the examiner of your paper. A critique includes a marks summary, general comments on the paper and specific comments on the answer given to each question. Please allow a minimum of four to six weeks to receive your critique. The exam critiques fee is non-refundable, unless the critique results in a grade change from fail to pass.
The exam critique is highly recommended for students wanting feedback on where they lost marks.
Exam Re-Grade: PACE level
A re-grade includes a breakdown of marks received per exam question and sub-question and a re-reading of your exam paper by independent evaluators. The student's examination is re-graded to confirm that no error was made in the number of marks allocated on the exam. Please allow a minimum of four to six weeks to receive your re-grade. The exam re-grade fee is non-refundable, unless the re-grade results in a grade change from fail to pass.
Exam Re-Grade: Level 1-4
An exam re-grade includes a review of all submitted course assignments as well as the final exam in levels 1 - 4.
CGA Alberta cannot guarantee receipt of your re-grade or critique from CGA Canada prior to the next exam offering. Therefore, you should be prepared to write a supplemental exam in the immediate exam session offering or request an exam deferral.
Requests for a re-grade or a critique are to be made via My CGA Profile > Exam Requests, by the day specified in the Important Dates.
