consecutive 3/3 band 11, way too close for comfort!

I was really fortunate to go 3/3. Have a look at my matrix which i believe anyone of them would easily put me into band 10. I stepped out of each 3 levels thinking there is no chance I’m gonna pass. Thank god I am done with this nightmare!

Lucky you…well i was band 11 in level 1 and level 3 both passed in 1st attempt but totally nailed L2 second time around after getting Band 2 in the first attempt.

I have pretty much the same level II result like you. I guess we are both lucky.

What is Band 11 ? Is it a pass ?

Probably Ethics helped me in some way or the other, was really lucky Glad to hear you are too done with this.

There are people out there with the same matrix but didn’t make it. My Ethics for level II was not even >70.We both got lucky.

Band 11 is use to refer to the bottom 10 percentile pass whereas band 10 is the top 10 percentile fail. So yes, a pass.
