What's your assessment of my passing? following, practice, problems, passing, around

Okay, here I am at the very end. What do you think my chances are of passing given the following stats:

I've done all Schweser practice exams in book 1, the CFAI mock, and the BSAS mock.

I scored in the high 60s on the BSAS mock (I had problems in FSA which I've since corrected) and around 72 in the CFA mock. Schweser tests were all in the low to mid 70s, with some in the 80s (but those weren't done on the clock). In every case, I've scored in the low 70s on ethics.

Can I be cautiously optimistic of a pass?

Gee, I thought it was commonly understood that the Schweser tests were harder than the real deal, and I've achieved consistent scores in the 70s and 80s on all six practice exams, including ethics. I also got a 72 on the CFAI mock, which is probably the closest exam to the real deal.

So, while the pressure and anxiety of the actual exam can lower the final tally, I'm told the actual passing scores may be slightly below 70.

I also feel as though I've got a pretty thorough, even grasp of most of the subject areas (especially the principal ones like FSA, security valuation and ethics).

So, let's have some encouragement out there!
