i don't see the passing mark changing. it doesn't serve a purpose relative to other years, if they then go and drop it in 2 years time.
so long as the standards are met, that is all CFA institute is about. they are after all not for profit (i think)

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.
