Yeah, the way they curve these exams is rather mysterious. Obviously, if they curve the exams based on how others are doing in the same window, then the passing rate would be the exact same every quarter. But it's not. For example, in the 3rd quarter in 2011, the BEC pass rate was 52%. In the 4th quarter, the pass rate was 45%. Why the 7% decrease??? Only the AICPA knows. My guess is that it's the questions that are curved, not the exam as a whole.
But really, there's no way to figure out how they curve these exams. All of us are basically speculating. So, don't waste time figuring it out.
FAR: 52, 66, 73, 61, 89
AUD: 47, 87
BEC: 80
REG: 64, 74, 84
DONE!!!!
