CFAI Scoring / Tests everything, material, tricks, pretty, really

onelife1

it really strikes me as funny the way the CFAI scores and tests us
25% - 40% : You guessed on everything - Fail
40% - 50% : You guessed on some stuff, but know some stuff - Fail
50% - 70% : You knew the material pretty well, but didn’t get past their tricks, you were not an ‘expert’ as they say in the material - Fail … but maybe pass (ie 66 - 69 range)
70% - 80% : You are an expert in most of the material, have doubts if you passed, but make the cut - Pass
80% - 95% : You studied for 1 year and are a lock - Pass

I was having similar thoughts on this too. I already got tired of checking results and counting if I got one more right or one more wrong. So far, they cancel each other out, and I still maintain the original outlook for the result (60% chance of passing).
I already gave my best effort after Jan 28, 2009 when I received my LI result. I have No Reserves, No Retreat, No Regrets for L2 so far. If this “high-bar” is what CFAI defined, let me play with the rule. August 18 is the day – I pass, nice; no luck, do it again.
Time to shift priorities now.
