Minimum passing score

This topic is probably passe, but I'm just curious what peoples thoughts are on what will constitute a minimum passing score. The way I read the rules and history, an overall 70% is guaranteed to pass, and probably anything under 60 will fail. Does this board think that the cutoff is closer to one or the other? I understand that each round is test and group specific, but I also imagine that it doesn't deviate much from this range. I was comfortably scoring over 70 on most Level 1 topics in December, but I imagine I'll be a borderline case the week after next, I can't seem to get the elusive 5 or 6 correct on more than a couple vignettes. I don't necessarily understand the banding system fully but I imagine the top couple bands will only miss by maybe 5 questions.

It's probably 65%, but aim for 70%+

Just remember that Schweser has absolutely no basis for that number. 65% sounds perfectly rational and reasonable, but they have no insider information -- not even mosaic theory applies here.

I've heard Schweser say that before^^^. I would imagine that the MPS might have hit 65 in some of the hardest years. Just think 70 and you're golden.

thanks again - sorry for the inconvenience

no worries. Im hoping MPS will be around 67. In my schweser class, they mentioned 65% a few times when planning how to maximize your studying. Doesnt mean thats what it will be, but somehwat encouraging

i just answered this in anther thread....its an overall 70% (or MPS) or better. You could fail all the small sections and ace the rest (theoretically) and pass. Some say there is an ethics adjustment, so if you are borderline and do well on ethcis, they will pass you. But in general, an overall score above the MPS is a pass.

No one knows, and it varies from year to year. I heard some people figuring that Band 10 was nestled pretty close to 70, so I'd assume 68-69 would be MPS. This is frankly a waste of time to think about though.

No1 knows for sure but I THINK it won't go more than 70% ... something between 65-70 sounds reasonable to me

I believe someone has narrowed it down to 68-70%, based on the 3* band samples.
