The senior partner of our firm who has been the president of ICAP & exam setter too told a few days back in a dinner that you have to work very hard because CA is a competitive exam & is not like other normal papers.
He told that once when he was paper setter, he designed an easy & lengthy paper for CA I think module E, so the ICAP officials decided that pass rate would be 83% for that attempt!!! The senior partner said that after that session he never became the paper setter again because he thought it very unfair that students who scored 82% marks in that paper were considered failed too.
He also said that your result just doesn't depends on you, it also depends on the other students who have solved the paper. If everyone has done very good, everyone won't pass. If other students have solved a "bad" paper than you may pass too; CA being a competitive exam.
All above are his words. The above FCA is a very respectable person, has been the president of ICAP I think twice, many times member of regional committees & a lot more. I don't even know much more of his accomplishments. So his words can be taken as true, If his words aren't even taken true than who's should be???
