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!!!

Since we were in school we were told when a paper was set a bit tough than normal the examiners were directed to mark it a bit leniently than usual and vice versa is the case with exceptionally easy papers. I guess many of us will have such experience of having score better than our anticipation in tough papers and vice versa. This approach to my reckoning is pretty normal and quite common.
Similar may be true about ICAP an easy paper may be examined slightly stricter than a tough paper. It never means to deprive someone of something he or she deserves.
However, as far as the above post is concerned 83% is quite absurd according to me. I don't think the statement is true and may is exaggerated to some extent.
