An Informative Blog this week

Hi to you all and welcome to the weekly CIOBS blog.

First up this week some news for students doing Chartered Banker and related Diplomas.

CIOBS has introduced a new feature into the on-line examination system. This feature is designed to ensure that the machine you are using is working properly as far as saving your exam answers.

In order to do this you are required to answer a few multiple choice questions. These have been drawn from the MOCK multiple choice exam bank and cover a variety of subjects. Do not be concerned if you cannot answer them correctly, the system is simply looking for some responses and is not going to mark your answers anyway.

The test only takes 3 minutes and at the end of it you will receive a message confirming the situation with your machine. If it is working properly you will then be given access to your exam paper and can continue as before.

In the unlikely event of your machine not being set up properly the message you receive will tell you this and you should let the invigilator know, so that steps can be taken to ensure that your exam answers will be saved.

Hopefully, this little test will help to relax you before your actual exam begins.

When it does – Good Luck.

Also this week:
