“Couldn’t have said it better myself. It is absolutely mind-boggling to me how out of touch with reality these other posters are who are insisting the cheating isn’t happening, and/or that it makes no difference if occurs. How can you justify screwing the honest candidates like it’s nothing?”

I haven’t suggested cheating isn’t happening, though I doubt it’s as common as some are suggesting. What is mind-boggling to me is how some posters suggest different passmarks for different days. That’s close to the ultimate in screwing the honest candidates. How can you justify requiring an honest candidate to score more points than an honest candidate a different day?

I don’t know how they will adjust the grading, but they’ve gotta do something. If they let the people at the end of the window get away with the cheating and grade as is, the people taking it earlier will get screwed, since I seriously doubt the CAS is going to allow 70+% passrates across all exams.

I don’t know what they will do. It wouldn’t surprise me if they look at raw score distribution by day before finalizing a pass mark. If the distribution shows an extreme pattern, it might affect the resulting pass mark. No matter how skewed, a pass mark varying by day should not be a possibility.

No way they will have a different score for each day. How could they possibly justify it? You need more correct answers to pass because some people taking it the same day you are may have been cheating?
