Ive failed i think 4 times in a row with grades of 90-80% roughly. it makes no sense. i should pass 90-80% of the time, with those grades.....thats not RANDOM. failing 4 times in a row, is 0%, four times consecutively. i dont know how to do the math, but i guess i should pass the next 500 tests no matter what the grade now, if the percentages/grades are accurate. i think the percentage calculation is flawed in the code.
not sure what i just said, but i think you get the point.

I am not the forum search god others are... has Zen ever actually stated that the % complete listed on the skills page is the pass %? I mean does 90% complete actually mean a 90% chance on a fair roll to succeed? I know most people have assumed this, but is it correct?
Enough people complain about not passing in the high 80-90 range, it makes me wonder if it actually is related. Like I alluded to in an earlier post, maybe the success % is loaded to the top end...

I know Zenith said she could make it to where we never fail by making the test available only on 100%.
I think I'd rather have my chances. Get it early.

Where is the fun in absolutes.....?
When you fail it should make you more resolute.....

this is my point. i have had the same experience and have begun to feel that this "randomness" is out of balance and weighed heavily on the failure side of the scale.
