You might want to pinch yourself.

No chance, I wouldn't be surprised if top 1% all get close to perfect 69%-70%

ok. i should clarify more as that didnt come across correctly. i mean i can definitely see an MPS of 58-62 given the difficulty of that exam if the CFAI is going to maintain a passage rate of 35%-45%. I dont consider myself a slouch, did very well on level 1 in december which had a 36% pass rate. felt i put in the same effort, if not more for level 2 but found the exam to be more difficult than schweser practices and CFAI mock.

I agree that it was a tough exam and would not be surprised if the MPS was in the 60's, but the 50's I think would be pushing it.

A minimum passing score in the 50s would also be... pretty ridiculous. CFAI would basically be saying that you are worthy of continuing the program if you know half of the material.

That isn't true - the exam is structured in a way that I would say about 15-30 percent of the total material is tested. So you A-study your a@@ off and knew everything or B) got lucky on cramming for the exam. I find it was a big crap shoot.

But you don't know which 15-30% of the material will be tested. Sure, there is some score variance, but if you know 50% of the material and the 15-30% that is selected is random, then your expected score is still 50% (I guess plus 1/3 of the remaining questions, given that they are multiple choice).

I think that the MPS will be close to 70% and the pass percentage will be above 45% this year. (unless CFAI wants to screw us all and decides to raise the MPS).
Almost every one on this forum said that the exam was easy. Agreed that this forum may not be representative, but I think the forum members are not far above the average.

Best of luck to you all in your forthcoming exams.

Seriously? If they set it close to 70% then passing rate would be close to 35%. 45% would be the case if they set the MPS close to 61-63%.

I guess you were browsing another forum!
Instead: Almost every one on this forum said that the exam was NOT easy

I'm pretty sure you're find the same thing any year you look through. If you look through the Results thread you'll see about 80% pass rate on AF as well. Its been said many times before, don't trust the sample size that is AF.

The pass rate will be around 40% as it always is and the MPS will be around 64-67%.

Stop worrying about if you passed or failed and wait a month.

And the 80% isn't representative of all of AF even....not everyone who flunks posts their scores, in fact i'd say very few of them would have the balls to....and likewise there might be ppl who arent active on AF otherwise but woke up just to put the pass score

yep....in fact i know a lot of ppl who thought the exam was easy (bcos it was less numerical, apparently easier for them than last year etc), but then found out later that they'd been done in by several curveballs.....

hell i'd still say there are a lot of curveballs i hvnt figured out myself...and might prolly end up with a faaar lower score than what i'm hoping for...
