Compare to Band 9 matrix below from last year. The ethics god blessed me. Will attribute the score in ethics a luck factor rather than much studying.

Passed:

AM: 5/0/5

PM: 1/1/7

All or nothing in the AM, which is why I was not confident. Started out with 3 of my first 4 AM questions <= 50%, including 2 of them that were near zeros (blanks and awful guesses).

Congrats, Markol! You better hurry up! This is too good to be real:)

Ethics bump, for sure.

Also, for anyone doubting Marc’s LevelUp… I had no business taking the test, started studying in middle of March and crammed with his videos and BootCamp. Thanks Marc.

Passed at the third attempt - never give up! Am 3/5/2 Pm 3/3/3

Thanks, and same to you my friend. I know we both expected eachother to pass, but it’s much harder to feel that way about ourselves I think lol.
