If my FOS(Factor of Safety) varies with other's FOS, is my model design wrong?

I tried to design the Model Mania 2010, and I got FOS 1.81. But I have found on a video that the FOS is 2.36.
If FOS varies that much, does it mean that my model design is wrong? IF anybody can describe thoroughly, I would be obliged.

Accepted answer

FOS mainly depends on what sort of application we are going to use it , if the parts FOS is within the desired range then its ok.
There maybe some steps or options that you have not chosen or missed will referring the video. I prefer you to watch the video again.

Check if you have applied the same material that is shown in the video also do check if there are some minute gaps between two bodies, if there edit it again. These are some common mistakes we often do
