Hi,
Are the morning and afternoon sessions equally weighted? If not, how does each way in the overall grade?
Thanks,
Karim
Equally weighted, but general feedback is that the AM portion needs more than half of candidates prep time due to different format.
They are equally weighted in the context of the number of points one can earn, but they are scored differently, meaning there is the equivalent of a minimum passing score for both AM and PM.
You can flunk the AM and ace the PM and still pass, as evident from prior takers that scored pretty badly on AM but scored top 90% on PM. Do the math, try to get around 65% overall score and u probably pass. I think the MPS last year was around 45-50% for the AM and 65-70% for the PM.
retaker here, can almost assure you that based on last years rubrics, a 50th percentile score is like a 52% on the AM and around a 69% on the PM. Do the math and that averages out to around a 61%. Keep in mind, those are the 50th percentile scores, which means the MPS (perhaps the 47thish percentile) is gonna be slightly lower than that.
Moral of the story: aim for a 60ish on the AM and a 75ish on the PM: that will leave no doubt. lets not sweat out the summer.
