Well, CAS will release the pass mark sometime soon. If 1.4*[pass mark] is in excess of 100%, then most of the test takers could not have scored a 10.

I scored a 9.

Chiming in with the "Scored a 9" crowd. The pass mark needs to be 73 or higher for it to be impossible to score a 10. I wonder how long it will be until the pass mark is posted.

I got a 7. When I walk out of there I felt like an 8 but a pass is a pass .

I was kind of the opposite, I went in there thinking if I pass it, it will be by the slimmest of margins. Then before I clicked to submit my feedback survey to see my results, I felt like I probably passed but was very nervous and it definitely didn't feel like I had gotten an 8. No way I thought I had >85% right.
