I want to put this in letting off steam but for some reason my account does not allow to do that.
I gave my first QFA in early May 08. The answer sheet saying that it will be checked by computer (fill circles using pencil etc). , I was under impression that results must be out fairly soon - say 1/2 week. But later when I enquired, I was shocked to hear from Institute of bankers(IOB) that they take good 6-8 weeks to declare the results. This is absolutely ridiculous. There were barely few hundred people giving the exam. How the hell they can take so long to do simple stuff that too when it is computerised. I think they are living in 15th century. Even if they check the results manually, it shouldn't take that long.
Also to add onto that, I looked on LIA website, and yes they have declared the result for the same exam. This means that I would have been better off giving QFA thru LIA rather than IOB, when the fees etc are all same.
I spoke to IOB and they are still saying same bull**** of 6-8 weeks. I hope I fail the exam and re-register with LIA for next attempt rather than continue dealing with IoB.
I spoke to one friend and he says the reason for delaying the result is "money making business" by intentionally creating circumstances for candidate to fail the exam. It works like this way - unless you know the result of previous exams, you are not going to register for new ones/resits. If they declare the result by end June, it will be first week of july the time you register for resit/new exams. Add another 8-10 days to get course material. The exams are held in first fortnight of September. This will give you only 6 weeks to prepare for the new exams and chances are that you will fail again.
