What is ARTiBA’s procedure to review a candidate’s application?
The submission of an application indicates that you agree to comply with the terms of the auditing process. If your application gets picked for an audit, a notification is sent to you carrying the necessary details of the process, required documents, and timelines. You need to fill out the Candidacy Audit Response Form available here and submit it with the required documents mentioned in the form here.
What should you do if your candidature is disapproved on eligibility grounds?
In response to our disapproval of the applicant’s candidature on eligibility grounds, the applicant must fill in the Candidacy Consideration Request Form available here for reconsidering the eligibility for the AiE™ exam. Along with this form, the candidate must submit a letter stating the exact reason for reconsideration. The form and the letter must be submitted together within 5 business days after the candidature disapproval notification. Attach the required documents along with the form and submit it here.

Also, they hinge on a statistical measure of the scores obtained by the global 85 percentile of the examinees in a given time period.
