This petition holds significance for all individuals who have undertaken the IFoA CS2 examination since its transition to an online format.

The implications are substantial, especially considering that many of the exam takers are employed, and their employers often have high expectations regarding exam performance. Given the inherent difficulty of these exams, the consequences of a single failed attempt could lead to individuals losing their jobs.

The current state of affairs calls for a reevaluation, as the exams have become increasingly challenging, and the persistently declining pass rates are a source of grave concern.

Since the transition to online exams, the pass rate has witnessed a steep decline year after year, plummeting from an average of 50% to a mere 30%. This significant drop is alarming and places an unwarranted burden of stress on the candidates. The exam's current format is evidently not suitable for its intended purpose.

The present situation demands an urgent and thorough reassessment, for the examinations have progressively transformed into veritable crucibles of challenge. The persistently plummeting pass rates are not just a cause for concern; they are a clarion call to crisis.
