Whether that could be done across all the groups - I don't know

Isn't it examiners that do the testing, rather than observers ?

Gareth wrote:I think ROG is suggesting a way in which IAM members could get the benefit of regular testing without putting an extra load on the small group of examiners. Most groups have senior observers who, amongst other things, conduct check tests to decide whether a candidate is ready for the proper test, so there is a ready group of people who have a rough idea about the standard needed.

Exactly that Gareth
It would be 'nice' if a retest by an examiner was done but as most observers and senior observers are aware of when an associate is test ready then I see no reason why they cannot do an assessment and hopefully say to the asociate - "You are still test ready"
How many observers advise associates to put in for their test when the associate is not 'test ready' - very few I'll bet.........
