Who passed the 2008 UFE?

All three of my mentees passed - I'm so incredibly proud of them. Each of them had their own challenges - as we all do - and all of them were successful.

The only thing as good as passing the exam is seeing your friends pass.

They're out still partying, catching up on missed sleep, or still jumping around with joy and relief.

Congratulations also to young Mr. Direnfeld, CA student blogger and another successful writer!

Passing the UFE: significantly more challenging and satisfying than winning the Fruit Loops Olympics

While scanning through the results list, I realized a friend from elementary school also passed - congrats to her as well!.

Now the only question is - why did the ICAO decide not to publish the passing rate for Ontario?

Other provinces have revealed the overall national pass rate is 71.7% - thanks for the heads-up, Bill.

Is Ontario afraid of a little competition from Quebec? Oh come on now.

One of my colleagues, another successful writer, is so full of increased confidence, that he boldly declared his ability to easily decipher what Ontario's pass rate was, using other available information to deconstruct the statistic. I don't doubt we can figure it out - we already know how many people passed - all you need to do is calculate the total number of writers who attempted to pass and you're set.

There's nothing like trying to recalculate an ultimately meaningless statistic if you're doing it out of spite for someone trying to suppress it.

I didn't even write it but I couldn't sleep last night because I was so nervous for our two writers.  But, they passed too, yayy!!

(Oh, my gosh...what will happen to me when it's my turn?  I'm gonna be such a nervous wreck!!!  If only I can take it in secret (I wish that's possible, lol) There's just too much pressure around the writers....The point that everyone (well, if they make an effort, that is) will know if you pass or not - I can't take that. That's what freak me out the most, Oh man.)

I'm very happy to hear they passed too - yay! I also woke up astonishingly early as well - no doubt this had something to do with it.

I know what you mean - many said that they were in many ways more "relieved" than just "happy".

Stick to your wits and take studying seriously and you too will pass - and that involves asking everyone you know for help, support and advice. I haven't done any deep research, but CA student bloggers seem to have an excellent success rate, so keep at it too.
