The odds of guessing correctly has improved; however, I doubt serious candidates are guessing throughout the entire exam. The rationale for the move from 4 to 3, as I understand it, was based on the fact that 1 of the 4 answer choices was generally way out in left field and any reasonably prepared candidate could eliminate that answer choice.

I've heard the min passing score could inch up a point or two or maybe three, but I seriously doubt 80.

Schweser and Stalla are still standing by the old saying "take solace in the fact that no candidate has ever failed w/ an overall score >70%"... of course we can't hold them to that, but I think they would have hedged by now if they truly thought the min passing score was going to 75 or 80.
