It's all put out of kilter by the long timescale between exam and results. I understand the volunteer nature of both the exam committee and the institution as a whole, but 4 to 5 months is unreasonable. Ultimately the move to have candidates sponsored is an attempt to fix this so I'll give it some time to see how it works.
I think if I were asked to be a sponsor I'd be looking at the candidate's preparation plan - that there is one, that it is realistic - plus their general level of knowledge, competence and reasoning. Not whether they can answer a paper at that point.
I would probably want to see a past paper attempt prior to the end of June so we could review what is realistic again.
