I had similar confusion earlier on my result but received no response form the ICB untill I sent an email.
Hence, I am thinking from Ami's comment above, that the ICB's idea is to save the students some money untill they decide on upgrading, fine!
However, I am also having the feeling that something is wrong somewhere because when you purchase a service, it is a general norm that you are supplied accoridng to the terms/specifications.... It is clearly stated on the site that you'l have to pay and pass at certain level to be awarded a particular status, without excemption. And having fulfilled such requirements, It should be expected of the ICB to authomatically, award the status without, further conditions or rather 'keep mute' untill you call/mail, to find out what was happening!
To eliminate confusions, Annual Subsciption should be annual thing, right, but the 'new fee' should beging, as per 'your status' in the 'new year'! (please check with other professional bodies). Supposing, I have moved from student to member within the year I registered, then I have to pay A.S. as a member in the beging of the new year! but I would be very happy seeing my status reflecting my effeort, as progress! (if I am making any sense)
Anyway, I am not protesting here, but only voicing my view/opinion/shock! and I am stand to be corrected.
Thanks.
