Dear Friend
ICAP has changed the combination of papers and the rules for appearing in Modules but not the grading system and accompnying rules whether it's new scheme or the old one.
Hence, every ICAPian knows that scoring "E" or "D" grade in one or more papers of the same module <s>or "D" in all the papers of the same module</s> requires to appear in the whole module again as per old scheme. But it's also the case in the new one. The only difference is that you've given the opportunity to appear in consecutive modules which was not allowed before. How? See below
Case A (Suppose there's no new scheme introduced)
- Passed QMT, ENG with ECO referred Eligible to appear in the next module alongwith ECO.
- Passed QMT, ENG with "E" grade in ECO, not eligible to appear in the next module instead required to appear in the whole module again.
Case B (Suppose the new scheme fully implemented in Autumn 2006)
- Passed QMT, ENG with "E" in ECO, must have to appear in Module(A) as a whole. However, eligible to appear in Module(B) too.
- Passed QMT, ENG with refer in ECO, just to appear for paper of Economics of Module(A). And may also appear in Module(B)
You would've seen that new policy does'nt affect the grading system and rules as they've not been changed by ICAP. Only the combination of papers alongwith the opportunity to appear in the consecutive modules have been offered to the students.
Therefore, if you score "E" grade in "Introduction to Economics & Finance" and pass "Eng" & "QMT" in this Autumn 2006 attempt, you would be required to appear in all the papers of Module(A) again in the Spring 2007 attempt. However, you may appear in Module(B) in Spring 2007 also as it's allowed by ICAP under the new scheme. Now if you score refer in Economics and pass "Eng" & "QMT" in Autumn 2006 attempt, you will just have to appear in referred paper i.e. in "Economics" of Module(A) as you'd have been given the credit to the passed papers i.e. "Eng" & "QMT". However, still, you would be eligible to appear in Module(B) also if you wish in the Spring 2007 attempt as the ICAP has clearly mentioned that "All the current students will be adjusted to the new scheme.".
<b>
Briefly (ENG & QMT passed in Autumn 2006 attempt)
Grade "E" > ECO Required to appear in Module(A) -> Spring 2007
Grade "R" > ECO Required to appear in "ECO" -> Spring 2007
Plus Allowed to appear in Module(B) also alongwith either of above as the case may be. It's upto you as you wish.

I hope that it would've definitely clarified the revised scheme/policy of ICAP.
Thanks !
