I can't understand a 1 at the same place in my case... :D..but anyways a pass is a pass.Congrats!

Thanks a lot bro!Wishing you all the best as well!So we did survive it eventually...:p:p

Passed!!! :):) Thanks a lot David for helping cross this wall of fire...

Hi Ajay,apparently the reverse is true for '11 and '12 and the two %ages have been almost identical in '10 and '14,if the chart at the top of the page is assumed as accurate.So other factors are also at play for sure..

Kavita honestly it seems like this depends on the shape of the distribution of marks.If the tail is thin(a distance of few marks from mean covers more %age of candidates than normal) then in the interest of fairness,GARP would want to pass this larger set of people because they're close in terms...

Hahahahahahahahaha......

Wow so if we look at it,55 odd pass %age is more of a downside..generally this has touched 60% throughout..now the question is whether pass %age varies directly or inversely with difficulty level....

The answer is NO and 50% :-)

@Mkain:--Maybe individual quartiles also have a mean of 2 and std deviation of (+/-) 1.... :)

Hehehehehe....yeah,anyways people don't write XYZ,FRM(4th quartiler) in their resume do they? :D....not to say I want that for any of us but hey, a ",FRM" is a ",FRM"... :-)

Difficult people...though I would have wanted a 1/1/1/1/1,will be dancing all the way to the bar if I pass :p

Mate infact now if they put up a simple paper that'll be an anamoly.I prepared for part 1 via a different institute(non BT,non shwescher) and could crack 75%+ in 2.5 hrs..but part 1 last year was a horror story...could attempt 89/100 only after consuming the whole 4 hours but ended up passing...

Any group discounts? :-)

Yeah so I think I do have a chance at failing this one,but will put the significance level at 2.5% :-)

Hehe couldn't resist after months of practicing fat/thin tails,extreme values,time varying volatilities and other such arcane topics :)
