How to get a 10 for FM?

[Watkru]

IMO "LUCK" is an important factor to get a 10 for exam FM/2.
Suppose we get the exam with a pass mark of 72% or more than 72% (or even >= 71.43%), so we are IMPOSSIBLE to get a 10. Although we made all questions correct, we only got a 9.
BUT if the exam is a bit harder, the pass mark will somehow decrease a little.
So we have a chance to get a 10 if we get all 35 questions correct.

To get that, we must do all the practice exams over and over again.
However I did all Actex, ASM, TIA PEs and I've found that I'd made many mistakes in every PEs.... so discouraged to get a 10.

Could anyone suggest the way or the new PEs for me for trying to get a 10 in this FM sitting??

Suggestion: don't worry about getting a 10. Why beat your brains out when it might turn out to be impossible even if you answer every question correctly?

I am not suggesting you aim for only a 6 or 7, even though the only thing that really counts is pass fail. Aim to learn the material well, but do not obsess about a 10.

Lol. If you got all the questions right on your last exam, just keep doing the same thing - it seems like an effective study method.

Don't be discouraged about not getting a 10. You would have gotten one if the passmark was lower, so it's not your fault.

All 10s or I am not hiring you.

To get a 10 you need to have sufficient understanding of the questions you get on the exam. Doing all of the practice questions over and over doesn't really guarantee improvement of your understanding.

I passed it without taking a single practice exam. I didn't get a ten, of course, but practice exams are definitely only a piece of the puzzle.

Watkru,

You were right from your original post, and everyone else agrees with you. If the pass mark stays in the 72% range, a 10 is impossible. Even at a pass rate of 70%, you can only get a 10 with a perfect paper.

My advice: don't sweat the 10. If it's not possible, it's not possible, and there is nothing you can do about it.

What's even better for you is that nobody else will care if you got a 10 or 9...or 8 or 7 or 6.

get every question right and settle for a 9.
