		<description><![CDATA[Food for thought, 

On the OACIQ website, the 2009 Annual Report gives a complete breakdown of examination results including pass and failure percentages:

Mandatory examinations – 2009
Affiliated agents, Number of examinations 2,639, Number of successes 2,243, Success rate 85%, Failure rate 15%, Average grade 72.8%
Chartered brokers and agents, Number of examinations 361, Number of successes 266, Success rate 73.7%, Failure rate 26.3%, Average grade 71.02%

Here is, in stark contrast, how the same information is seen on the 2010 Annual report:

MANDATORY EXAMINATIONS 2010	 Old examinations 		New examinations
Number of candidates			
Affiliated agents				        3,367
Chartered brokers and agents			572
Residential real estate brokerage						        12
Mortgage brokerage								        13
Agency executive officer							                18

On the 2010 report there is no mention of percentages or even a confirmation that if these are successes or not but I would imagine that to be the case. Wow, a total of 43 lucky candidates in all three disciplines combined managed to pass the new exams in 8 months!

I am curious to see what will be stated on the upcoming 2011 report and how. This further proves the lack of transparency by the OCAIQ when it comes to their new certification process! Oh and for those curious about the $$$ they make on the exams. In 2010 it represented 4% of their annual yearly revenue...$788338.00! Wonder what they will haul in this year?]]></description>
