Module D: Social Networking Web Site
Warning
With effect from the 2009 exam, the word “UNCLASSIFIED” will
be printed in the SBA component (i.e. Coursework) on the result
notices for candidates who fail to submit coursework to the
Authority.
If such candidates do not sit any of the written papers, they will
be regarded as absent from the subject, irrespective of whether
their coursework or SBA scores have been submitted to the
Authority before the examination. In such cases, the word
“ABSENT” will be printed against the subject on the result
notices and the subject will not be listed on the certificates.
This change will not affect the overall subject grade of the
candidates.
