Default Failing Exam Scores

Are we allowed to share our scores on each question and the overall score?

I don't see what the issue would be but they might have an issue with it. We would be able to zero fairly close into the pass mark and know how close we were. I will wait for someone to verify it won't get us in trouble but I have no problem posting mine.

I don't think you could zero in on the pass mark since the score breakdown is basically an estimate anyway. There would be a big gray area around how many points a 6 on a question is worth, so what does it really matter?

Also, isn't the score relative to other candidates, and not relative to how many points you got? For example, if everyone pretty much bombs a 10 pt question, and most people only get 1-2 pts, and you get 3 points then you would get a 10 on the breakdown, but only three points. So how would you really know how many points you got?

Therefore, I can't imagine the SOA being upset about sharing scores, and they don't add much value in determining the pass mark.

But be my guest and try anyway!
