    It doesn't exactly work on a % basis of the whole paper. Once the exam has been sat, examiners will look at a say 20 papers to try to guage the standard. Once this has been set I think you are looking at approximately 70% of that. Dont quote me on that but that's what I think happens. I sat the ECR in June 07 and that was a bu**er of a paper which had questions that had not been taught - let alone tested before - and I believe certainly in that paper you were not looking to gain 70% of the whole paper but 70% of the standard set. God I have really waffled there but hopefully you get the gist of what I am trying to say!!!!!!!

    Yes, I think that sounds fair. BPP told us 75-80% but I think that depends on the paper and the overall results from students. I think the lowest setting would be 65% if examiners felt a lot of students struggled. If it was an easy paper then you could expect a higher setting. That's why we are never told the percentage pass rate.

    Generally, competency is set at between 65% - 70% but can be lower from what I've been told.

    i've heard that competency is being raised to 90% in order to maintain some sort of quality control.
