    I just took my AUD exam and may need to wait about a month before I see the score results. I am understanding that two professionals review and grade each exam, but wouldn’t it be faster if a computer graded the tests. With the exception of written communications, a computer could easily grade MCQ’s and SIMS. A candidate could have their score within moments of completing their tests.

    What’s the reason for humans grading the tests? I am understanding that there is no curving on the tests; so if 90% of candidates got MCQ #20 wrong, it would not be omitted from the test. Maybe, the reasoning is that computers can make errors, but still even having an instant preliminary score would be nice.

    FAR 82
    BEC 82
    AUD 93
    REG 87
