The difference, especially after the introduction of minimum section scores, is not really so big. I bet you can pass only if you make minor mistakes, or not spend enough time to polish everything up, but not if your solution was substantially wrong.
i can understand it would be nice to know that you have achieved really good result, but look at this in such way - those guys who check it are only humans, and cannot provide 100% objective assessment of your skills, at least not in such a short project. So it is quite possible to have situation when someone passed with 70% and is still more competent than some other person who got 100% (maybe because he just didn't have so much time for the exam, and did it quickly, and another person spent a year on the project, as some people here do).
If anything, more comparable to me are points from part I, as all the people have the same circumstances, but I still wouldn't dare to say that someone has better knowledge than somebody else just judging from the % he/she got on the exam.
