Can anyone tell me the minimum marks required passing a CT exam?
I'm not aiming for the minimum though.
Thanks

It is about 60% for the CT stage - this will be weighted for each exam though
the borderline criteria looks for knowledge across the syllabus.
although this looks reasonable and i too believe this is true, but u can never tell how they decide. how do u know this? r u guessing?
Now what does studying to get 100% entail?
Is it - knowing your core-reading really well (i.e being able to reproduce it), doing every single past exam question from the revision booklets and doing the last 4 exam papers under exam conditions?
Two things I disagree with - 'you should study to get 100%' and 'you have to do lots of past papers'.
Unless you're very clever, I really don't think it makes sense to 'study to get 100%'. You have a limited amount of time to study, so you have to allocate it to maximise your probability of passing. If there's a few very tricky parts to the course, and you're really struggling with them, then the chances are that almost everyone else is too, and the worst case scenario is that you drop 5 or 6 marks if you give up on them, which almost everyone else will drop too. So your time may be better spent making sure you get the marks most other people will get. Its great if you can study to get 100%, but I've got through all the CTs studying to get about 90-95%, and it works for me.
Past papers are definitely useful, but I rarely get around to looking at more than one or two, and concentrate on the Q&A banks, and Acted questions from tutorials, which are mostly hand picked from past papers! So I'm not really disagreeing, but I think if you go to tutorials, and do the Q&A banks this is enough.
