David..
i had earlier written to you on a note in a public forum of a course provider that less than 70 % anwers correct might even make you a winner. I reproduce below a clarification by them on this :

Answering 70% of the questions correctly is usually considered a good gauge for a passing result. When I said not answering this amount correctly, I was referring to correctly answering a percentage that was slightly less than 70% (e.g., 65%). Nevertheless, I have clarified the post. Thanks. GARP has stated that the passing score is based on 75% of the top 5% of scores. So the passing mark depends on how those top performers score. Regarding, the coverage of AIMS and full exam weightings, I do agree that some of the weightings are questionable. For example, I would think that credit risk should receive higher than 10% and current issues should be lower than 10%. However, this is what is outlined in the study guide. Bottom line is that you need to know the material. In the past, candidates have commented that a handful of questions have appeared outside the AIMS. You should be aware of this and not let it throw you off on exam day. However, given the huge amount of readings and AIMS this year, GARP has plenty of material to choose from when writing questions. My thought is that they will do a much better job writing questions that pertain to this year’s assigned readings than they have in previous years. Kind regards. UnQuote.
I really appreciate their views but request your views on the point that given GARP's heterogenty in a sea of AIMS and their said coverage of qns and a general uncertainty in full frm exam qns coverage many feel no of full frm candidates may be less that as imagined and the top 5% scoring may not be so great that may push the grading low. I am writing this not because of anxiety in preperation but only to look at the chances of getting through.
thanks David despite a complex confusing qn.
(I am not undermining either Full exam qns or ful exam as such but keep in mind the cautions u have written to me in the past)
