This is by far the ugliest Pass matrix I have ever seen, No Offence!

He has NINE <= 50% s in the AM session!!!

I just can’t believe it!

He had a solid PM and the below 50’s were probably close to 50 in a lot of cases.

failed with band 5…

I have prepared well… but the result was …

can anyone give me some advices on preparation?

PASS !!!

  • Your 40/60/80 score is: 65.1%
  • Your minimum score is: 55%
  • Your maximum score is: 78.6%

Yeah thats the only possible reason

The important thing to note is that even if you score below or just 50% in the AM, you can still pass if you nail the PM!

I would have been much less anxious had I know this before the exam :slight_smile:

Passed… It’s been quite the journey… :slight_smile:

Thank God there isn’t a Level 4 :stuck_out_tongue:

S2000 it’s amazing you personally congratulate everyone - thanks you’ve helped enormously!!

Passed! Free at last!

Guys, I also passed. This is my first post here, but I wanted to thank you all, as this forum has been very valuable to me as a lurker.

Every time I encountered a problem I found the answer on a thread here.

Thanks a million
