Not a lottery no, as you will be selected if you are among the top x%.
The point is that nobody knows what number that top x% will be, as it is dependent on the overall standard of the rest of the candidates. This is the same way that things like GCSE/A Level grades are worked out, with the 'pass mark' being set only once all the results are known.
All I'm saying is that there is absolutely no point in worrying about it because what the standard was before may be different to what it is this year...and even if it is, then you wont know what it is anyway as none of the FTO's give out scores or feedback!
