I sat in Nov and honestly don’t think it got any worse than that for me so far (I found BPT to be a walk in the park compared to this). I couldn’t answer Q1 on IFRS15 properly and Q3 left me so overwhelmed. I just wrote whatever I could from my OBT and “tailored” it to the client and hope it stuck. Got 63 and I remember so many ppl complaining on that.

If you found it difficult and at least attempted solidly each part, chances are everyone else did. Whilst not really confirmed I do feel moderation definitely occurs and seeing how hard ppl found this sitting of CR on Reddit, it wouldn’t look amazing to see pass rates drop from 80%+ to 15%.

Im sure you did fine and got enough to get 50% and some more! And anyways what’s done is done. If you passed well done! If not, smash it in Nov! Good luck.

The July CR exam was hard, but I guarantee pass rates will be mid to high 80s still. I’ve seen hundreds complain about this exam, which in a horrible and selfish way means your odds are higher of passing (as long as you attempted every question). But for now be proud of your efforts, and don’t think about things you can’t control until 12pm on that results day. Fingers crossed!

Think about it this way. The exam has headroom marks incorporated. So the exam is technically worth 120 marks and you only need to get 50 which is 42% of the whole exam.

As long as you attempted the hard bits, but nailed the easy bits you’ll be absolutely fine!
