It looks like we're in the downward part of the cycle or maybe not...

There is no cycle to the pass rate. It all depends on your preparation. If you prepared well and solved sums correctly in your paper, then the result will be there according to your preparation. All the best!

 

I agree, no matter how hard the exam is, good prep is essential. I just noticed that the pass rates go up and down like a sine wave.
