Officer Kite,

Careful of overstating the bank, it’s easy to exaggerate how much of your exam was actually from the bank...

You said you knew the answers to well over 65 of the 80 questions in your AGK exam, leaving 10-15 you didn’t know.

If we conservatively say there were 13 questions you had to answer, that’s only 16% of the paper you actually had to answer. As in 84% already in the bag (a good pass).

As you got 87%, that means you got 3% of that final 16% correct which is less than 20% right. The exam is 4 question multiple choice so by answering blind you’d get 25% (you’d have got 4% of that 16 correct). That means that despite all the studying and work you put in you actually did worse on the questions you had to answer than a dog trained to hit A repeatedly would have.

So either it was maybe half bank and you got a decent score on the second half or... (hopefully less likely!) you have negative AGK knowledge
