I don’t think so else curriculum should also be different for them…

When I wrote my level III, it felt the same. But I guess is the PM session weighs more in your passing or not.

AM is pretty much the same for everyone - meaning unless you are too bad or too good, you will be just fine. There will always be something in AM that you don’t have an answer until you continue with your journey in another universe:)

They are both worth the same amount of points

He means it’s easier to accumulate more points in PM and weigh your total score towards passing overall.

Either way I don’t agree that it’s easier to accumulate points in the PM. Just because it goes faster through the questions doesn’t make it easier to achieve the points if you finish all of the problems

That’s fine, just state your disagreement. No need to be snarky and try to undermine his argument.

then riddle me this, why do so many chinese pass the exam?

Less complaining, more studying.

Well,it is my guess. It is based on my experience and through discussions with other exam takers in the same year.

What we found is,the percentage we achieved in the AM appeared to be a lot worse than in the PM. Generally if you did well in PM,e.g.scoring over 70% but scored not so well in AM,e.g.around 50% or even less, the chance you would pass still outweighs if you scored at 50-70% on average.

When you see the results,you probably can do some projection yourself and see if that may be the case. It is based on the curve and therefore the absolute points matter little.
