Is this worth a retabulation ? received, exactly, change, method, scores

brk1yn

Don’t know what to think about the below scores…. received a band 10. Using the 80/60/40 method for scoring these I had exactly 70%. Is it worth spending the $100 to check it out? Is anyone aware of a change from fail to pass when doing this?
Arrr… the frustration!

That is a good point, I know I erased 3 or 4 on the bubble sheet. From looking at my score I must have been only one or two marks away from passing. Could a manual review be what pushes this over the top?
I’ve seen scores this morning that have bene pass with a worse breakdown than the two abov.e

You guys looked to score higher than me, I don’t know why I would pass and you wouldn’t with these scores.

Band 10

Deciding the same myself…fail band 10. I’d say it’s worth it: this is a TON of time studying, emotional frusteration, etc…. There is very little downside for significant upside. Granted the probability of upside is slim, but possible. Kinda like a deep out of the money call?

I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the urban legend of 80/60/40 is pretty misleading. If you averaged 71/51/31, then any of the scores posted could have been a fail. The breakdown doesn’t provide any information as to what your actual score might have been - strictly a qualitative statement.
If it was me, I’d save the dough.

Did you pass or fail?

Using almost a worst case scenario 71/51/31 the score I come up with is 67.2% Must have been a high MPS this year.

i’ve never failed a CFA exam (currently awaiting L3 results) but here’s my 2 cents -
if (and only if) you got a Band 10, and you really think it’s gonna eat you up, $100 is nothing in the long run - just do it. you have virtually no shot of them changing it but if it makes you sleep better at night it’s probably worth it.
