I will be attempting module 1 this year. Although I received credits in modules 2,3 & 5 I have been put off module 1 previously by the very low pass rates. The change to 3 questions had given me more confidence to tackle it, but now I'm very curious (& nervous) to know why it had minimal effect on pass rates. I subscribed to the theory that the reason for low pass rates was because with only 2 questions, a candidate couldn't afford to have a poor performance on a single question. With 3 questions this shouldn't have been an issue - as long as the markers realise each answer will only be two thirds as "good" as in previous years!
