No offence but this is pure speculation. I’m not saying it can’t be the case, I’m saying that people are just making this conclusion cause everyone wants to figure out some way that it is being scored but no one really knows. The ONLY reliable source that I’ve heard has told me that although there are scores for passing, it is recorded as pass or fail. It stands to reason that they could do it based on the scoring system but it’s also a personality interview. The interviewers could simply note down their favourite candidates for a plethora of reasons. Not to mention they ask questions such as travel distance, notice period, holiday. All of these things could equally play a part of not more so. Or, it could simply be at random. No one knows. My point is, it’s better not to assume, or worse, tell other people how they choose when we don’t even know ourselves. “We don’t know” is really the only honest and acceptable answer and that’s ok
