consecutive 3/3 band 11, way too close for comfort!

[LuckySSMe]

I was really fortunate to go 3/3. Have a look at my matrix which i believe anyone of them would easily put me into band 10. I stepped out of each 3 levels thinking there is no chance I’m gonna pass. Thank god I am done with this nightmare!

Lucky you…well i was band 11 in level 1 and level 3 both passed in 1st attempt but totally nailed L2 second time around after getting Band 2 in the first attempt.

 

[kienha93]

I have pretty much the same level II result like you. I guess we are both lucky.

 

[princein]

What is Band 11 ? Is it a pass ?

 

[LuckySSMe]

Probably Ethics helped me in some way or the other, was really lucky Glad to hear you are too done with this.

 

[LuckySSMe]

There are people out there with the same matrix but didn’t make it. My Ethics for level II was not even >70.We both got lucky.

Band 11 is use to refer to the bottom 10 percentile pass whereas band 10 is the top 10 percentile fail. So yes, a pass.
