I just got my score for BEC after Christmas. It was a 75. I don't mean to complain, but I rocked that test. 75 is way too low for how well I did. So we know that BEC has a passing rate of 47%. Should my 75 have been more like an 80? I think more people took BEC in OCTNOV then ever before due to the new rules on written communication. But so more people took it, but the same percentage passed?
Anyway, the UFE (Canada's Exam) has a passing rate of 80%. I don't know what their passing score is, but in regular school, 50 is passing. And with moving to intenrational standards, I predict that the AICPA will "lower" the passing score, and not raise it, in order to be more comparable in passing rates. If they raise it, and less people pass, you have a lower passing rate. I doubt it goes down to 70, but I could see it at a 72.
If they raise the score, that might just do me in. I have only REG in Jan/feb left. I am worried that if I don't pass I will have to take it in April and risk being under the new rules of having to pass with a 78 or 80.
AUD - 1/8/2010 - 81
BEC - 11/17/2010 - 75
REG - 4/29/2011 - 79 (Had I failed this one, I would have had to retake REG, FAR and AUD!)
