I think someone on another thread about this topic said that they only provide the passing rates from the most recent offering of the exams. the two that are shown in April are only offered once a year in April so they still show up.
You're right...I just wanted to see if it was lower when I took it on 06...but it wasn't. :brickwall:JoeysVee,
Even if the Pass Rate was 1%, as long as you are in that 1%, you'll get it.
Study to get 80/80 not 56/80. Trust me.
DVINNY,
You could not have said it better - I did not heed that advice until my last attempt, which I finally passed. You don't go into the ring with a black-belt opponent without learning ALL the black-belt moves. Any one can take you out all by itself.JoeysVee,

I don't think the 80/80 is meant to be literal. I know I didn't study some areas that would be only minor portions of my exam. I knew my time could be better spent studying other more relevant topics. So in that regard you could say that my "target" wasn't 80/80. I think the point to saying your goal should be 80/80 instead of 56/80 is that people should not go into the exam thinking there is a set number of questions they have to get right in order to pass. You should go into the exam trying to answer every question to the best of your ability. Worrying about the 'cut-score' doesn't do anybody and good.
Probably not... but then you get quotes like this: "You don't go into the ring with a black-belt opponent without learning ALL the black-belt moves. Any one can take you out all by itself." Which, in my opinion, just isn't true when it comes to the PE Exam.
I agree at least in Mechanical; Fluids and Thermo is key for the test as I review and work problems you really need to know this area even if you are taking the Mach. Design portion.
