Anyone else having their Friday ruined because of this tomorrow? Also, of those who have taken it, has anyone failed? It seems rather difficult to not make the top 70%.

^ gave up 30 minutes ago, all i have to do is score higher than 55% raw score.

again, i do not believe that is how it is graded.

Raw passing score (total out of 240 pts) normalized to 70%... thats what i meant

[Edited on October 24, 2008 at 8:35 PM. Reason : man i am going to fuck up the statistics part ]

10/24/2008 8:33:58 PM

that's still not correct. you won't know what the normalization is until all of the scores are actually in and analyzed.

10/24/2008 8:38:12 PM

i think i need to go ahead and take this shit

10/24/2008 8:38:29 PM

From the class

"Raw passing score in the past has been roughly 52-55%"

yes it could be different this year but i like having something to shoot for.

exactly. the worst part was everyone was so freaked about it, they made me believe i had no way to get done and get to the state football game that day. i (and most others) finished with plenty of time left.

i passed it hungover enough to have to leave in the middle to throw up.

and not studying, etc.

just more or less b/c the company i took a job with didnt give a fuck but i had already paid for it

10/25/2008 8:52:55 AM

hahah all my friends took the course got nervous and failed.... i didn't do shit
and passed

10/25/2008 8:53:49 AM

yeah that too did seem to be a trend

the people that were stressed failed

the people who were not, passed
