Since the candidates were sent a list of results tabulated per candidate number, this year it has been possible to get an overview of the results in advance of the meeting. If my adding up is correct, the mod 1 pass rate is actually a tad higher than that which was previously suggested and the results graphically are per the attached, errors and omissions excepted as they say.
No guarantee therefore that the numbers are 100% accurate, but as an overview I am sure they are good enough to show the picture from several perspectives.
Obviously the information missing is how the various exam centres compare with each other. My knowledge is limited to knowing that:
a) the number of candidates from the whole of Australia was similar to Bristol & Birmingham combined,
b) around half of the total modules sat were taken in India. Note that 2011 was only the second year in which there have been exam centres in India, so this growth has been very rapid. I hadn't realised quite what a significant percentage this now constituted; it may be one factor that has caused the recent change in the mod 1 results, but obviously not the only one since there was a distinct falling trend prior to this.
