Even with the raw number that they give I don't know my score. Why can't they say I got 18/30 etc. Just seems strange to me. Or if it would jepordize the strength of the exam just say so and tell me why, don't hide it.

yeah I don't understand this either. Especially since they are moving in that direction anyway. i.e. eventually the CBT will give you your raw score.

An effective/non-effective indication would even be nice, but that would probably make it a bit easier to guess the pass mark.

If your score was zero, you were ineffective. If your score was 1-10, you were effective.

you mean guess what the pass mark for that sitting was. I wish they could tell us why they cannot be transparent with the stuff. (If there is a thread explaining why please point me to it)
