Don Tuna,

You don't judge an exam by how hard it is to achieve perfection. You 
judge it by how easy it is to pass. And an 80% tuning isn't anything 
to crow about. Neither are unisons which are off by the maximum 
tolerance that still gets you the point. People with a pair of 
functioning ears in their heads who learned how to use them wouldn't 
be happy with either. Which is why many tuners feel that the exam is 
not " tough enough".
