soooo i have completed the 3rd and final part of the Leap Force exam. Wish me all the luck guys as really want to get this. I remain confident that i had done my best! Any ideas when i will get result? the exam was due for completion by about 8pm tomorrow evening. Am i right in guessing should come through some point on Tuesday.

Good Luck geministar 2008!
I received an email to say that I'd passed the 3rd part at 6pm on the day it had been due in. Think it had been due in at about midnight so hopefully not too long to wait!

i have failed part 3 soooo upset. i studied so very hard and re read the materials over and over, took my time. i have the option to re take but does that mean retake all 3? not sure i can take another week of all that. not the blow i needed this evening. really upset. the fact they do not give you feedback does not help!

geministar2008

do any of you who have passed part 3 know the reasons people fail? I have just read elsewhere that alot of time time its because a rating has been a little too generous so tweak it slightly. i must admit when rating i did rate one lower than i thought to be on the safe side. If any one who is a leap force pro could pm me maybe? it would be appreciated. want to re sit it but cant face another fail.
if i decided against it could i apply for lionbridge now or would it go against me having already applied for leap force?

Thanks all x

I don't suppose there is a particular reason, and certainly not something you can try to second guess. All you can do is study hard. Did you treat it like an open book and keep referring back to the guidelines?

geministar2008

yes i did i took my time and re read the relevant sections over and over and would refer back to the guideline, and look for familiar links etc and pointers. Really am very gutted. maybe i was a bit generous on the odd rating. but i was under the impression they allowed for slight differences. Hmmm not sure whether to re sit or not as not sure what i could different. it was a long week or so as it was!!
Also just been reading over old threads about people passing the first 2 parts getting work but not as much as those who passed part 3, does this mean i could still get some work? or is that old regs?

Peed off .com to say the least not the blow i needed.

Noooooo I've been stalking this thread all day to see if you'd posted, really sorry to hear that.

I would definitely advise re-sitting if it's been offered, like Caitchbee said there's not really much more you can do other than read the guidelines as much as possible and refer back to them for each and every question. No idea how it's marked but it could be that you were only a teensy bit off, so definitely worthy trying again if you can

There is no point trying to guess what you did wrong as you can't know and it could cause you to fail a second time by trying to correct something that might not even be wrong, iyswim. You need to have a really good understanding of the concepts and ideas in the guidelines so if you have another attempt, go back and spend some time studying them again. There may be something that you missed that will make a difference to the way you complete it a second time. This is JMO but I don't think treating it as an open book and referring back to the guidelines constantly is necessarily the best approach.

Good luck!

Definitely re-sit. I failed first time and so did many other people. You have to do all three parts again but you will get through them much quicker this time. You also don't have to read through all the pages again. Just focus on the examples they give you in the materials. I was dreading not getting the chance to re-sit and when I got that email, I was so relieved. You have that chance too, so take advantage of it.

Hmm not sure. Just dont think I can face another week of 3 exams. Wasnt the blow I needed right now. The fact they give no clue om where you went wrong is not helpful
I read somewhere that people who pass first 2. Get offered work but not so much as people who pass all 3. Or is that old? Also I believe that there used to just be 2 parts. Why is there 3 now? So if id done this say last year id have passed and be on my way!!! Sob sob
Ive notice lion bridge are recruiting in lots of areas. Social media assessor is one role. Also advert assessor. Not sure what they all entail? But where would I stand as ive failed leap force. Can I apply to lion bridge again to a different role not necessarily web search evaluator role... ? Or will they be disinterested in leapforce cast offs? If I choose to re sit leapforce and fail id like to be able to look at the others again. I failed appens screen test and didnt get passed lion bridge application stage last time as I was progressing through leap force. Not sure what to do.....
