I guess as far as the IRSE is concerned, they are still making money from applicants and would not want to deter people from applying (and for multiple attempts).
When studying for mod 1, I attempted every question from every past paper and can honestly say that it hasn't got harder in my opinion so why should it be made easier?
Why not send out an exam questionnaire to a random sample (or to all) of people who sat the exam asking things such as number of years experience, time spent preparing, whether they attended study groups etc. I appreciate that stats can only be so useful, but it would lead to some more useful correlation between various factors which contribute to pass/fail, rather than speculation which is all we can realistically use currently.
