Cindy,
Like you, I was surprised at that figure but I was forced to give it some deep thought when
someone asked me what I would consider a
good pass rate.I'd ask you the same question.Given a fair and comprehensive exam.(one that you agree is that)What would you consider to be a "good" pass rate.Think about that for a minute or two.And feel free to post what you think a good pass rate for a fair test is.
In June the Commonwealth of Mass held its first practical.There were 2 applicants who took the test.One passed and one did not.That was a 50% pass rate.When the count got to 10 applicants last fall, it was roughly the same story.The better trained applicants passed, the others did not.I cannot tell you how the one that failed in June did on the second test in November, but I'd almost be willing to bet they passed.The test is not difficult.We've only had 2 tests todate and a total of 12 people.Not a very large group to draw valid statistics from.
OK Cindy, times up.....what is a good pass rate?
Now I think you can see why a pass rate is not the important thing.
BTW I've lost the matchboxes I brought back from Ireland for you :( I'll see if Ian can't get you some!
