Two other candidates and I passed last week so perhaps things are looking up?!

CASA have apparently pulled some questions. Words to the effect of; people had too much knowledge of exam questions so we adjusted some parameters without rewriting the questions, subsequently changed the available answers without rewriting anything (by the way - we didn't change anything, remember?). Then people brought to our attention that the exam was broken, but it wasn't and so we fixed it. Despite a huge increase in the failure rate, only a select few people were affected by the correctly-incorrect questions and we have subsequently fixed their exams retrospectively.

So the exam was(n't) broken for a period of time. Is it safe to assume that of those sitting exams while it was(n't) broken, that all their exams have been reassessed and that the net result is that the failure rate returned to the original 40% approximation during that period?
