Pass marks

Hi,

I'm about to sit my first two exams (CT1 and 3) and was just wondering whether anyone knew a rough guideline as far as pass marks go for the CT series in general?

I'm pretty sure that sort of information isn't officially revealed but I'm only after a very rough indication from people's experience. Would 50% be enough? 60? 70? Any sort of idea would be useful... like if people have come out of an exam having only done half of it and still passed! I didn't do any of the assignments (left it a bit late!) so never had the chance to get those marked - maybe rough pass marks for those would shed some light?

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
 
ummm.....

- after 2 300 series exams, i thought i answered 55- 60 % of paper correctly after leaving exam hall. i passed both of these.
-in another 300 exam, i reckoned i answered only 45% of paper correctly after leaving exam hall, and was expecting FA, but was very surpirsed to pass.

normally when i know i bodged an entire question i failed! though some people tell me theyve passed even leaving an question blank or bodging most of it up...
 
someone once told me they reckoned it was about 60% for CTs, 50% for STs, 40% for SAs, but very volatile between subjects and between sittings, depending on the difficulty of the paper.
 
Thanks for the input... that gives me some idea of the level I need to aim for.

Still, 65% sounds quite a tall order at the moment - time to get tactical with my revision I guess!
