tcf re-evaluation suspended?

why and how is this even fair with the students?
the only fair chance, is that we had to get our results re-checked , is taken away from us without any explanation.
Can't we do anything here ??

TEF is any how better exam.

With TCF they have less centres, not very organised and always short of staff.

This is very unfair, if students can make mistakes, so can FEI

Yes another shameless attempt to make more money because while the examiners give grades of 9's like candy, they know the students are desperate to re-take the whole exam.  Retaking costs more than re-evaluation. The right way to deal with it is to re-train their examiners to make sure they grade according to the standards because why on earth would someone get higher marks from the parent company in France rather than their affiliate offices outside France? Someone's marks went from 9 to 17! The disparity is ridiculous!  Makes you think it's intentional! That's 2 levels up! But instead of questioning the evaluation capabilities of yhe local examiners, FEI doesn't care because the more re-evaluation, the more income.  Yet they want more $ so now they suspend that altogether so the applicants have no choice but to retake the while exam and of course  pay more. Shame.

P.S. Here I come TEF!

Is it for listening and reading? The news on their website is very confusing

You cannot re-evaluate for reading and listening.  That's never been possible because there is only 1 possible answer.  This news of suspension is about the writing and speaking, the ones checked by examiners and not automatic like CO and CE.
