Esco, if that is the case why is it that Europe was the only place to achieve the highest pass rate? Looking at the 2006 and 2007 overall pass rates(unfortunately not broken out by level) the US had a higher total pass percentage than Asia and Pacific Asia region in both years(just on a quick google search)

You may be correct but you also have a small sample size there ;-) I know of one indian friend who cleared level 1 on his first try but was already a CPA and MBA but had to take level 2 twice.

I am curious how this will matter and how it was done before, were we lumped in with the other regions too?
