Quite a pickle of a math question, isn't it?

there must be a math wiz out there

If we use the total test takers at 2500, with the initial passing of 241=9%
600 passing=24%
700 passing=28%

i don't see the list reaching or breaking 30% passing. It's statistically improbable, all things being equal with past testing ratios.
---
just trying to be logical, using prior passing ratios.

hope this helps

With 15-18 throwouts I estimate a 2500-2800 person list.

maybe thats enough to make most of the 60's

GLG20 · Senior Member

I guarantee you that the lowest score that makes the list is 70.

Geek. Just kidding; thanks

Abeyance · Senior Member

if the 900 list is true, anyone as low as a 56-58 can make it. I just dont think there are that many

Abeyance · Senior Member

exactly, can there be over 700 people in the 60s?

technocrat1 · Guru

no problem nypd231.

I heard that someone with a 58 passed. Do not beat me up. I am putting out what I heard 3rd hand. Take it for what it is worth, which is probably nothing but that is what I heard.

nycop80 · Guru

it very possible that a 58 passed with that many throw outs. We shall see soon enough, hopefully may 9th.

Wasn't this one of the math questions on the test

doctorjay · Veteran Member

how do you know that someone with a 58 passed? that means list is made.

not bad... now run those numbers with only 150 passing and lets see the ratios

habidasheryauto4 · Member

I got the same info a few hours later, but good work, keep the good info comin pal. And as far as info, well someone has to know the LT from the 70, and he has all the answers we need. Someone just needs to put the squeeze on him.

150 passing= 6 %, with the same 2500 total test takers.
500 passing= 20%

600 and 700 are the same as I previously posted. Pretty high percentage of people passing if we reach those figures. I don't recall seeing numbers that high for previous exams, percentage wise. Maybe someone has some info on prior exams. We could see the number of test takers in comparison to how many hit the 70 and above. Prior tests that did not invoke the 70 or better rule will skew the data, so those shouldn't be utilized. My point is even though we have approximately 18 questions that are going to change, statistically, not everyone will gain every one of them. So to use simple math and assume all you have to do is add 18 to your raw score wouldn't be remotely accurate.

People should keep in mind that these numbers of bad questions are likely total horse****. Merely knowing a captain in the building means nothing. And nobody in OMAP knows anything. A lot of these numbers seem to have been generated on the forum itself and then taken a life of their own outside of the forum.

OMAP is not involved in the testing process.

Someone somewhere knows something. All these questions can be answered with a few keystrokes. It's just kept a secret. Rumors start somewhere. Congrats to all those who scored 60+ you will be LT eventuallly. Mark my words.........

Yes. Many of them start here. For example- the number of sabbath passers...
