Basic Exam

[tkwinston4]

Does anyone know how long from taking the basic exam until I get my results?

[Monsieur Abeille]

Didn't the examiner tip you the wink aftwards?

Not until the examination board have had a meeting, before which your examiner will have had to send in the forms to Stoneleigh, and they are all moderated.

Results are out. All the entrants from the Chichester Division passed.

Thanks

Is this usually a 100% or have we just been lucky to have such good support from our local division and that at Wisborough Green?

I think the pass rate for the basic is around 95%+. You pretty much have to tip your bees on the floor and dance on them to fail it.

"You pretty much have to tip your bees on the floor and dance on them to fail it"

or steal a frame of brood and bees + HM from another hive in front of the examiner.

The three of us that took it at the same time all passed, and the examiner was kind enough to phone the results through about 3 weeks after taking it.
