| Near perfect? I doubt it, the cut-off mark last year was supposedly a 75%, and now there are twice as many spots to advance to the next round.
The tests the past two years have been on only mechanics, and therefore harder than any versions you saw online.
EDIT: Just saw somewhere that last year's average score was 30%.

| Any guesses as to the raw cutoff score this year, with the expansion taken into account? Oh, how'd you find out about last year's cutoff? Was it 19/20 points?? | |

| No, last year's cutoff tells nothing about this year's (for physics), since last year there was no deduction for incorrect answers. I'd say 15 would get the job done. | |
