I managed to do 41 , was wondering on chances of getting a pass afeter an EAR  in this circumstance ? 

Thank you all.

Several years ago I failed a NEBOSH exam, I scored 43, I just paid for a resit as I didn't want to pay for EAR and then potentially another resit. Two weeks after I did the resit I got a letter from NEBOSH saying my first exam paper was under marked and I had actually scored 48, which meant I passed. 

Even though I did not request an EAR, it can be a worthwhile request, but if I remember correctly, my tutors only recommended it if failing by 1 or 2 marks. In your case, I am not sure if it will be worth it, unless your happy to pay both EAR and test fees, should your EAR request be unsucessful.

Hope this helps

I had the same issue a few years ago with Unit B - I was give a score of 43 and went down the EAR route - the remark came back as 44 and still missed out by 1 mark - I subsequently resat Unit B and passed - no regrets about going for the EAR but was gutted at the time that they couldnt have found an extra mark to give me the pass
