well, considering in 2001 the E4 cut off was 48-52/84 , and 2001 wasn't really a hard exam,
i don't understand why u guys are saying like 60+ for E4

so, danz, u expect ANYONE who passess that test to get a 45-50/50 or a 90-100/100

just think about wat ur saying, plus that means, taking it as a 1 unit subject, say ur right and 48 is a e4 cutoff, ie 48 gets a 45/50, lets say 82 gets 50/50 0 u expect each '1' makr scaled to equal 6 makrs in the test

ie u expect someone who got 78 and someone who got 73 to BOTH get say 49/50

LOL

well the stats are there man, i'm not saying whether they're right or wrong, i'm going by whats given.

i've read somewhere that a third of MX1 candidates get an E4, on average

as i said earlier, my prediction is a cutoff between 57-65, depending on many factors (how hard they mark, how people went, etc...)

and yes, 30% of the ppl attempting teh course WILL GET AN E4

and the enxt 30% AN E3

so dont worry, whetehr it was hard or easy, ur just compared to others, so the e4 cut off will come from how well ppl went, if everyone went miserably, the cutoff will be lowered to give approx 30% of teh canditure an e4
