How can I tell whether a university’s qualification pass-rate claims are meaningful?

Do not rely on the number of successful candidates or the pass rate alone. Check the numerator and denominator, who was included, the exact examination and year, the number of examinees, and whether the figure covers first-time examinees only. Check whether only participants in an internal preparatory course were used as the denominator, whether results are broken down by faculty or year, and whether the trend is stable over several years. The university’s definitions and notes help you judge how comparable the figure is.
