I've heard of one case from 2007 where they lost 1.5. Other than that I don't know.

1.5/120  or 1.5/60?

will the exam being out 65 now have any affect? maybe more chances?

They got 117/120 or 58.5/60.

I think the A+ cutoff will remain about the same in terms of percentage and yeah, you'll likely have a good chance at 50 with 1-2 marks lost and very high moderated SAC marks.

I'm guessing around the 60 or 61 mark should do it, best of luck :)

One of my friends 50'ed BM last year, lost 1.5 marks on the exam. His sacs were A+ but before scaling his sacs weren't at the top.
