band 11

[maverick7]

i’m assuming band 11 is being pushed over due to passing ethics section?
what is this percentage difference, any ideas?
like is it 1% away or 0.1% away and you get pushed over.

there have been some 40-60-80s sub 60 with under 50 in ethics. i have always thought the ethics adjustment was nothing more than a myth.

The CFAI has confirmed the Ethics adjustment. Taken directly from their FAQ:
What is the “ethics adjustment”?
The Board of Governors instituted a policy to place particular emphasis on ethics. Starting with the 1996 exams, the performance on the ethics section became a factor in the pass/fail decision for candidates whose total scores bordered the minimum passing score. The ethics adjustment can have a positive or negative impact on these candidates’ final results.
