Default Pass Marks on Old Exams
Does anyone have a rough idea what the pass marks were on the previous exam sittings (May '00 thru Nov '01). I'm only really interested in the Course 4 pass mark but I'm sure other people would find it useful if the pass marks for the other courses were posted as well. I'm just too lazy to go through previous posts and figure it out myself.

I'm writing practice exams and I need to know if I'm answering enough of problems correctly to pass.

Thanks.

Default pass marks
While no-one has complete information on this topic, I have follwed the discussions on this board. The consensus seems to be that the required pass mark has consistently been at least one question better than 50% and no greater than 60%...Past information is no guarantee of future results.

The pass mark on all the exams I can remember was a 6. Nothing less, nothing more.
