The only "leaks" which have come my way are-
a) the change to having 3 questions in mod1 hasn't made a significant difference to the results,
b) there were a significant number of mod3 Control Table answers which seemed to demonstrate candidates "getting the wrong end of the stick" but curiously in a similar manner to each other, suggesting a common source of misunderstanding somewhere,
c) mod5, as is often the case, had significantly better pass rate than other mods- yet still had quite a lot of duff answers. The ohm/km / ohm-km confusion in the TC calc question is believed not to have had an impact on the results.
I guess that the pass rate of the various modules therefore hasn't changed a lot from last year, which was pretty dire for mod1 and mod3 so statistically chances of passing these would be 2:1 against.
However I regard that those people that are active on this Forum are pretty a-typical and therefore I'd be expecting a significantly higher pass rate amongst this sub-set of the candidate population.
