Default I passed with PAK score....

11, including one questionable one (17). I think one question must have been thrown out or counted correct for all answers.

I guess the passmark was really 11/20? Or did you remove a question?

16/20 and passed, but that's not really a surprise, I guess (although paranoia always sets in...)

Congrats to all who passed!

I had 13/20 on the PAK. Passed (probably got a score of 7)
Missed: 7,11,17 (random guesses all of which turned out wrong), 1,5 (tricky conceptual questions), 12, 15 (mistakes that were my fault).
I knew how to do all the other 13 correctly because I studied what was on the syllabus, therefore I knew they wouldn't get tossed. I also knew the SOA wouldn't set the passmark above 12. Therefore I was pretty confident I would pass, but not by very much.
I only studied Derivative Markets (quite thoroughly; and so I'm a little bothered I missed the two conceptual questions) and ACTEX. I used to think ACTEX was the most popular manual, but judging from other posts it seems like I could be quite wrong. Either way, they've yet to let me down so I guess I'm sticking with them until that changes.

Passed.

Didn't have any answer record so no comparison with PAK.

I guessed on 6... Thanks to God...

Passed with 11 on PAK.
If I get 6 on my transcript (which is very likely), then this will be my sweetest 6.
