Pass or Fail... Shocked at AM results

Based upon the score matrices posted by AFers – paying particular attention to Band 8/9/10ers relative to those who just barely seemed to pass – I calculated each band to be about 9-10 points apart. That’s equal to 3 MC questions or a couple of simple AM questions – or roughly 2.5%. The difference between failing and just squeaking by is that close.
Get back to studying.
Thanks!!
We should learn another topic. CFA Performance result evaluation!

I was surprised with <50 for Q 1, 3, 5, I was expecting 51-70%. But PM session definitely pulled me through the finish line.
I still did better in AM compared than last year (was band 10).

I find many past takers’ result is pretty binary…WHY? Either <50 or >70…
It doesn’t make sense for partial credit world.
 
Congrats for the pass taker. My question is WHY the score pattern is that binary? Shuold we get partial credit even the answer was wrong?
