Yes, double-checked it. The input boxes are correct. It’s the latter part of the email that changes: see below. Makes me wonder if they pull the 40/60/80 from the erroneous topic-by-topic breakout as well.

BUT, happy with the results. Not complaining. :slightly_smiling_face:

I think this analysis is a bit flawed honestly. My 40/60/80 is 59.4%, Min is 44% and Max is 71.8%, but as others above said, for the PM, using 60 is not reasonable when there are only 6 questions (4/6 is 66.6%). I was 5/0/5 in the AM and 2/5/2 in the PM so I think using 60% for 5 topics that I got 66% in drags down my estimated score significantly.

Maybe my pass was right on the border? Either way, doesn’t matter now, just sharing for reference in case it helps others. I would think that I likely got higher than 80% on my 70%+ sections to make up for the below 50%. Haven’t seen a matrix as hit or miss as mine in my browsing around here. Their wide score ranges really serve their purpose of obscuring the MPS for cases like mine
