I thought that their recommendations will be something personnal like the student unable to present her work or it seems that she did not understand her methodology or results? something like that but I showed them that I understand my methodology and resukt so why they want to resubmit my work? I think because my supervisors did not send me their comments for each chapter they commented only on lit. review and validity study while the rest they said we do not have time and just be honest in the transfer? maybe this affect the panel dicision??

Hi Infinitycat, thank you for your reply, no I do not have any publications yet because we were waiting to finish my reliability study and it seems when I finished this study was at the same of my transfer I will have a meeting with my supervisors next week and I received the examiner recimmendations: 1- finalise my literature review chapter? while its almost completed I have 2 headings left! 2- shorten one of the experimental chapter to look for the reader as a pilot work 3- continue analysis the last experimental chapter to generate the unique contribution to knowledge 4- represent the data of my validity study and reanalysis ? this chapter needs only to calculate the mean and SD and it was done on artificial rig to check equipment suitability and I show the results about which equipment should I use? for me I do not think their recommendations should prevent my progress to PhD I am really a hard worker even my supervisors wrote a report before the transfer that I am working hard and they are happy with my progress. I felt now embarressed and lack of confidence and the delay now will affect my last study that I should start with it after the transfer I am afraid that next time even when they will see my progress they will not transfer me because of the time limit to finalise my final experiment? does that will affect their decision?

Is anyone with the same situation or to advice how to make it better for next time? I received their report with their recommendations but I do not think their recommendations will prevent my progression to PhD?

i did my transfer meeting today for the first time I was trying to answer all their questions carefully, well sometimes I asked for a clarification inorder to answer the question my document consisted of 7 chapters including literature review and my experimental work unfortunately they decided that they are unable to transfer me to Phd and I should re do it within 6 months and resubmit my document I am really sad and shocked as I have been working really hard and scared that the next transfer they will not upgrade me to PhD level and I have to finish my work with MPhil!! so scared to think about that,I will receive their report with comments and clarifications next week but according to their comments today that they want me to continue the analysis of last chapter in order to help me to generate my unique contribution to knowledge but actually I answered that question but may be they want more? I do not know?? also they were not convincing that I am able to transfer now to Phd they did not say that I have to repeate my experiments they gave comments regarding my lit. review chapter and comment about the graph I made I think it was minor erros only but still I am not sure because I did not receive their report. I am sad and embarressed that I did not show them my ability to have the upgrade I thought I will pass with some feedback because my supervisors told me that my work is scientifically ok? and it looks substantial,so I am not sure what went wrong. I am so scarred now and disappointed phd is my dream , I don't know what to do I really want to get the upgrade and I am afraid that I can not finish my thesis on time because of that , I have 1 year and a half left to finish my Phd, help any advice?
