I like the optimism of the people voting 11. Hope is the last thing to die.

Isn't 60% the magic number that the SOA usually chooses? That would make the pass mark 12.

Last spring it was only 11/19 and MLC was 16/29. They have gone below 60% before and they may do it here again if the results were that all over the place.

It seems probable that at least one question will be tossed out, if only on the assumption that several questions had a wild variety of answers.

I'd say I got about 10 right, and guessed blindly on the other 10.
So I got 12+ with something like 70 percent certainty.
