No, luckily not. All testees are compared to the same statistical data 
so that everyone is rated fairly against the same criteria. The first 
hurdle is getting enough exams written to give a representative 
sample, for LPI 101 and 102 this was at least 300 exams, but you 
probably know more about how that works than I do :-)

There's more data about this available at
