Can you get serious or post any mature query on this thread? If 50% is the passing criteria then certainly it is being followed. I being an ex-student of ICAP had and has no issue with it; and I believe, without any doubt, that whoever gets 50% or more, is declared successful. Now, what remains the turnout is another thing. Do you know the turnout of CPA, CFA, ICAA, CICA, and other quality exams in the world and in pakistan e.g. C.S.S?
Survival is for the fittest; not for all the competitors. Everyone who meets the basic qualification should be admitted to give it a try, and this is what being done in every field worldover. So, suggestion again is, that please open your eyes and adopt a habit of debating on the things if you carry some know-how about it. A simple question for you, can you please tell me the turnout percentage of even Matric exam in Pakistan where passing marks are merely 33%? Can you? Try to find it, and may you find the answer to your question regarding one of the prime qualifications.
As far as the link posted by you, be informed that I am not, and have never been, posting on the forum you have pointed out. This is a categorical statement; so it should be enough to makeup a satisfactory answer. That KamranACA on the forum under discussion is somebody else. At the same time I also place on record that I agree to most of the content of his post (whose link you have given) EXCEPT that I don't rate ACCAs as clerks.
One thing to add; this username (KamranACA), is used by me ONLY on this forum; so debate with me on the posts sent under this user-name, only on www.accountancy.com.pk. and don't post irrelevant stuff to make your point.
Regards,
