Between 1977 and 1984 the pass rates for the Preliminary Test for UK/Eire candidates varied between 64% and 84% whilst those for overseas candidates were in the range 23% to 42%. Corresponding figures for the Membership Examination were 61% to 70% and 25% to 43% respectively. During those years overseas candidates were in the majority, comprising 60-65% of those taking the Preliminary Test and 50-55% of those taking the Membership Examination. Over the last two years the proportions have fallen to 40-50%.
