Steve… Boy, you're asking for quite a bit of data….most of which will take some gathering time (aging of the test). You'll be hard pressed to get RAW data from these test (let alone be able to interpret it – I've seen some)… > 1. Breakdown by geographic region, test site and date of testing. > 2. Pass/Fail rates by geographic region/Test site. > 3. Number of individuals taking the test by geographic region/Test site. > 4. Number of individuals repeating the test, by section. > 5. Score averages, by section and by geographic region / Test site. These questions are being "preserved" for the boarded review and consideration. Be advised, though, that this data (when fully compiled) will not be distributed at will by anyone on the Exam Board or by Drake. Autodesk will likely publicize them when they are confident we're not looking at "trend" scoring, or special regional characteristics. Your interests are really appreciated, but you're basically asking us to give a complete and thorough analysis/report about a "brand new home we've just had custom built, moved into, but not even finished decorating"…. We'll get to the "here's the facts" and the "State of the Exam" addresses later….currently we're closely monitoring the "awareness" levels of the test and the currently running tests… the ATC's have had first dibs on being a Drake Testing Center (the only place people can take the Exams), but there appears to be wide-spread lethargy or apathy…so the places to take the test aren't as numerous as projected to this point.
