Pre-Exam 2022: congratulations to all that passed! (Result letters are now available in MyEQE)
Congratulations to all that passed!!!
The Examiners' Report is not yet available [8 April 2022], so if you did not score 100 marks, you still need a bit of patience to know where you lost some - and where we may have given a different answer in our blog posts to legal and claims parts. And to know what has been neutralized and for what reasons.
Update 15 April 2022: Yesterday, the Examiner’ 'Report has been published on the EQE Compendium pages (in English only; German and French translations will follow shortly).
The Examiners' Report addresses the translation/transcription error in [005] of part 3 (Q.11-15; 25 marks), and provides:
Remark: There is a translation error in the German version [005] of the description, second line. It should read Poly-Y and not Poly-X.
Due to this translation error the Examination Board decided to award full marks to all candidates for questions 11 to 15.
W.r.t. Question 20 (5 marks) in part 4, the Examiners' Report confirms that the question (as presented to the candidates in Wiseflow) failed to indicate which claim was to be assessed for all statements of Question 20, and it provides:
Since the following sentence was missing on WiseFlow:
“Assume in the following that inventive step has to be assessed in respect of claim II.9.”
the Examination Board decided to award full marks to all candidates for question 20.
No statements were neutralized in the legal parts; no other statements were neutralized in claims analysis part 4.
So, 5 + 1 = 6 questions, 30 marks, were neutralized in this year's Pre-Exam. As a result, the pass-rate will not be in the typical range of 85-90%, but it may be expected to be over 95% - we will know from the official statistics (probably late June or early July).
The Examiners' Report also provides the missing/corrected text of part 3 and Q.20, and provides the intended answers for the neutralized statements, so that all candidates can determine the score that they would have achieved without neutralization.
