Does getting >70% on all subjects indicates anything?

Since the results are so opaque, it may not even mean anything. I’m sure if you got >70 you want to assume that your exam score was really high but how do you know? You don’t. You can get >70 in FRA and Equity with a 4/6, 4/6, 4/6, 5/6.
Another candidate could have gotten 6/6 on every vignette and maybe a 4/6 on one 5% weighted topic and absolutely crushed your overall score but they aren’t able to state “>70 in every topic” even though they outperformed you.
I would hope anyone who sees this on a resume/CV/linkedin immediately discards the application. Dbag city.

We are not saying anyone is better than the other. We are just saying…!
Now I want to hire a runner, which one should I hire? hmmm…
Personally, all else equal, I would hire the first. You guys go ahead and hire the others.

this is absolutely irrelevant comparison. if you are hiring a professional test-taker, yeah, maybe you want someone who sacrifices their job, life, etc to crash a multiple choice (lol) test on a first attempt. But there are much better analysts who dedicate more time to the actual valuable things and don’t have as much time to study how to answer multiple choice questions. so yeah, it is only the bragging rights, nothing relevant;
 
I agree with cynical man! You want a well rounded individual. Not just a successful test taker.

I am simply looking at those grades solely as an input into the formula of figuring out who’s better. I hypothesize the score matrix input should have a coefficient that is significantly greater than 0 in that formula. Or, that there is a positive correlation between # of +70’s and IQ, for example..
=> +70’s on all subjects is a merit in a non dbag way…

Lmao. “Positive correlation between >70’s and IQ… but in a non dbag way.”
Yeah, that doesn’t exist.
 
+70 doesn’t mean anything because you could’ve got all 70.01’s on every section, you’ll never actually know how high or low your score was. Same way someone with all 50-70’s could’ve gotten all 69.99’s. Sick dude, you did .02% better than the guy who got all 50-70’s.
It’s a pass fail test, the actual score is irrelevant.
 
Same way passing level 1 or 2 is irrelevant, you either have the charter or you don’t
 
Passing level 3 is also irrelevant if you don’t have required work experience….
