All people here have doubt regarding if any criteria to pass individual section mainly Ethics.
Well I have clarified this information from CFA institute and as there no criteria to pass individual section but if any1 on border line means got same score as MPS then Ethics is the deciding criteria for him/her.
I am again putting what response I got from the institute as this is very important news for all of us.
well news for all of you guys,
I sent the same query to CFA guys and just got response from their side which I am posting here and yes what Bexter told in the starting Ethics is deciding criteria of passing for borderline students.
Dear Mr. Bhatia,
Thank you for contacting us. The Board of Governors instituted a policy many years ago to place particular emphasis on ethics. Starting with the 1996 exams, the performance on the ethics section became a factor in the pass/fail decision for candidates whose total scores bordered the minimum passing score. The ethics adjustment can have a positive or negative impact on these candidates' final results.
CFA Institute has a policy of not releasing either the minimum passing score or individual candidate scores. Consequently, CFA Institute does not release specific information about the ethics adjustment or the candidates who were affected. The adjustment has had a net positive effect on candidate scores (and thus pass rates) in most exam sessions. The published pass rates therefore always take into account the ethics adjustment for borderline candidates.作者: ishfaque 时间: 2011-7-13 16:57

How does this work? If you get a 70% on the total, but for example totally bomb Alternative Investments (0/6), do you still pass?
Likewise, if you get a 69% but get an 80% in Ethics, do you think that you'll pass still?
