Twice though... that's a 1 in a 100 chance to do that.

how do you FAIL (an F), a test TWICE, when you have an A in the class - twice?
its not realistic at all. an A is 90%. i should pass 90% of the time i test with an A.
where dd i say it was not fair, btw? im surprised you guys ever had an A in your llife, with your reading comprehension skills. wait, you probably never did, therfore dont understand the frustration.
As I said b4 I already went through that, and yes, I agree with u it's frustrating. But afaik this isn't a therapy session and that's why I haven't come here to complain about it. Or, if u prefer it, I'd come here to ask why such things happens.
In my personal experience the odds to fail having an A r higher than 10%, but it's Zen who knows the formula and I doubt she gaves it away.

I seem to have almost no problem passing my tests with a B- or B, of course, I fail here and there but no more than those trying with A's.
If you go statistically, you have better chances to pass if you try 5 times with a C than once or twice with an A. Might not be true if you're trying for level 6 as it gets very long to gain 5% but stats are stats, they do not lie.

Time to change the rule about skills to 100% or nothing.

good point Thor. and that just adds to why its fcked up.
and the 100% idea/thing is even more stupid.

I've never failed with an A or A+
i wouldn't even chance it with a C

I agree.. experienced players know how random things can be in AL... and pis.sing like it's some huge deal is dumb... I have failed 2 tests 6 times and also never came to the forums to start a hardcore whine session... if you have an issue bring it up.. but having a cow about it as an experienced player... get real
