So here where drama queens gather.

#10

Well, all that matters is that y’all PASSED! Congrats, people, get out there and celebrate!!!

#11

Anyone have guesses on what the MPS would have been for this year?

#12

@Audacious

no joke man, based on 40/60/80 my score will be 60.8, that’s the probably the closest you can get to the MPS…

on the other hand, this thread will be very useful for the future takers who would like to see how marginal pass looks like…

#13

Wanna cookie zero beta?

#14

note sure why you think that … the ones you got below 50% … probably is very close to 50%, and you probably did close to 70% for the 2nd range.

I’m below 50% in 4 topic in AM (but above 50% on everything else - but mostly rest are above 70%). Point being, having 4 or 5 below 50% doesn’t mean you’ll fail.

#15

By the grace of God I passed. If I wasn’t the last person out of the building, it was damn close. Congrats to all who passed, best of luck to those who didn’t.

Maybe you have passed marginally like others say but I believe that you’re very good because of your very strong AM session. You must be very good at this type of writing. By the way, you got a very balanced score- 54.08 % in the AM session and 62.20 % in the PM. As per my calculation you should have failed band 10 but you have to thank to your extremelly good hand writing.

Congratulations!

#17

As per my calculations MPS is 59% or a little bit higher than that. What do you think it is?

#18

very sure i am band 11 instead…
