Clearly, the higher the Pre-Exam score, the higher the chance to pass paper D. Probably this is an indication of both good legal preparation with serious studying for the Pre-Exam in the first year, combined with a good follow-up study and exam preparation in the second year.
It is also interesting to see that one of the candidates that appealed the initial fail decision passed paper D and 3 more passed paper D with a compensable fail. He or she even passed paper D even passed all four papers, with scores 62, 54, 52, and 56! Special congratulations to whoever it may be!
