Just to put the rumor to rest, I passed level I, however, I managed to simulateously bomb the ethics portion of the exam. So.....I guess the rumor that you have to pass ethics to pass the exam isn't necessarily true. Any thoughts??? |

...Same thing, passed the test, bombed ethics. It's a tiebreaker for those on the 'bubble' is what I hear but who really knows?! |

I was told that ethics is used to determine pass or fail for borderline exams only. |

When you say "bomb", do you mean below 50 or between 51 and 70? |

I mean like.....below 50%.....I was kind of surprised I did that bad...but...I guess it didn't end up mattering. |

To put the rumor to end once and for all... I was one of the borderline candidates... and failed level one, however "kicked ass" on ethichs--i.e. >70%... leading me to believe, that the whole ethics counts more especially if on the boarderline is one big crock!!!! |

ethic is the easiest portion so thats y more stress is being given in syllabus outline or on inst site +++++++++++++ think so |

Hey bbking! How do you know you were borderline? What was your feedback from the other sections? If you are over 50% for all areas will you pass? Any ideas? |
