Thanks Von for the update. I may have arguments on some reasons (suggested by others) for the downward trend of passing scores especially on outside physical factors like the bombings (2004) and the natural disaster(??) this year. This may not be acceptable in scientific research besides incidents in Metro Manila may not affect the rest of the testing centres in the country. We may be able to infer correlation if we consider passing scores per testing centre but still it may not hold ground.
However, I agree with you about a possible correlation between the readiness of the non-BLIS/MLIS graduates. This is worth looking at.
