Jeff,
Is there a reason why Q1 has consistently lower pass rates? I'm nervous because I am taking FAR this January.
It is usually attributed to people working during "busy season".
Jeff,
What about Q4?! If following the trend from Q4'08, passing rates could drop almost 10%??!! I will have taken 3 tests in Q4 when it's all said and done!
2009 is mimicking 2008 as far as % rise from Q1 to Q3, so if it continues to mimic 2008, then Q4 2009 pass rates will drop 9%-ish.
This isn't important info...just interesting...has no impact on anyone's studying or chances of passing whatsoever.
Oh, I see... more so coincidental than anything? The criteria to pass doesn't change, just the performance of candidates during certain quarters? I.e, Q1 is typically lower due to busy season for most. I wonder the reasons for lower scores in Q4 then!
Another busy season for tax people (10/15)...Thanksgiving...probably.
Maybe burned out as well...
Fourth quarter grades drop 9 % ... Merry Christmas to all!
