    There is a considerable peak at 45 marks, looks like some people were saved on purpose by the EC..

    62% having compensable fail or more, has this ever been seen?

    Is this due to the pre-exam, due to exceptional knowledge of this year's candidates, or has the EC been very mild...

    For those candidates who sat the 2012 pre-exam and went on to sit paper D in 2013, the results break down as follows:

    Highest mark = 90
    Average mark = 58.4

    Fail: 22.3% (51 candidates)
    Compensable fail: 14.4% (33 candidates)
    Pass: 63.3% (145 candidates)

      Ooops - spreadsheet error. That should be
      Fail: 16.9% (51 candidates)
      Compensable fail: 11.0% (33 candidates)
      Pass: 72.1% (217 candidates)

      So what does this mean? The pre-exam has fulfilled its purpose, I suppose.

      Or was 2013 on the easy side

      In order to draw any conclusions, what should be compared is:

      resitters 2013 vs resitters in earlier years
      first sitters 2013 vs first sitters in earlier years.

      If you have this data available, Elizabeth, that would be helpful.
