The results for Pre-Exam 2023 came out yesterday afternoon, 10 May,
finally, in MyEQE.
Congratulations to all that passed!
The Examiner's
Report for
Pre-Exam 2023 was published "already earlier" this Monday, 8 May
(here).
Surprisingly only two statements were neutralized: 5.3 (needed a 2024
calendar) and 16.3 (in our version 16.1).
Statement 14.4 in part 3, for which we gave
arguments for T (official answer) as well as for F, was not neutralized.
The statements in part 4 relying on the
interpretation of "water-based solvent" being "just water"
(and hence direct and unambiguous disclosures of %w/w of water) or "a
solvent having a base of / based on water also including something more"
(and hence no such direct and unambiguous disclosure og “water only”) were not
neutralized - see 17.4, 18.3 and 20.1.

Pre-Exam 2023 blogs:
Statistics have not yet been made available but the EQE
secretariat – they are usually published together with the statistics for the
main exam papers.
Update 11 July 2023: We were just informed by another tutor that the Examiner's Report for the Pre-Exam on the EQE website has been replaced by a new one (without that being easily spotted as its carries no date or version number, as as there was no mention on the website that it was updated). The original one had errors with dates in one of the legal questions, and was in English only. The new one is in all three languages.
Update 24 May 2023:
Today, 24 May, candidates received the following email from the EQE secretariat:
“Subject: EQE 2023 Pre-examination - Communication from the Examination Board
Dear candidate,
We would like to inform you that after the release of the pre-examination results on 10 May 2023, we have encountered some discrepancies between the results communicated and what was to be expected in view of the Examiners’ Report. Upon conducting a thorough investigation, we have successfully identified the source of the issue, which is of a technical nature. Please be informed that the problem has been solved.
As a consequence, the results have been recalculated and must be re-issued. Therefore, the decision of the Examination Board concerning your result of the pre-examination 2023 communicated to you on 10 May 2023 is hereby revoked. A new decision based on the correct result is now available in myEQE.
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincères salutations
The Examination Secretariat
on behalf of the Examination Board”
