There’s also nothing wrong with being content with Certified.
a bit off topic, but I’d like to offer up thanks to a fast grading team. I wish we could return all of them this quickly.
nice job OP. I told you there were no worries with passing…

I wasn’t really expecting anything till the Fall sometime. Nice surprise, thanks for the encouragement!
Congrats on getting a 77 first time out! Like Mike Dixon said, a bit of judging experience and you’ll likely hit your goal. My score improved dramatically after about a year of judging experience.
Also, grader and admin instructions require that proctor sheets must not be copied and distributed.
There is a lot that goes into grading an exam set, and there is more to it than what is on the proctors’ sheets. As stated, the exam admin supplies his/her notes, and the write-ups from ALL examinees are used to help determine the scoring rubric.
Instead, I suggest you go to the BJCP site and read all of the Grader’s Training materials. Even as a new judge, it is very valuable to see first hand the what the graders are looking for. I highly recommend it.

In particular, these documents are available from there:

HTH-
Thank you for the links santoch. Was hoping to crack 80 but am happy anyway, despite my scoring inability. I never did come across any docs that described how to give/take points.
