Yes thats a pretty good summary from what I can see.

I am certainly becoming very dis-illusioned with the whole set up, they have changed the Counterbalance & Reach practical test scoring twice in 12 months, when there was nothing wrong with it to begin with and have now made it a lot more difficult for students to pass by increasing the points in several area's.

It seems they are meddling with things for the sake of it, and I can foresee many more people.such as myself who have done the job successfully for years, walking away and joining the likes of BRITTOPs, where an instructor/examiners common sense, knowledge and experience are still allowed to prevail.
