Sample Result question, indicate, weaknesses, bull, 2010

Looks like this is a fair representation of how the results would look like in this summer of 2010. People getting crushed and smashed and being thrown all over the palce but in PM getting back on the bull to the finish line.

This one clearly shows that passing score would be way less than 70.

Thanks LGF.

this is a lucky customer.. only 2 gold stars in the morning and still passed. Both gold stars came on small questions too. Dude must have gotten a 90 in the afternoon. Or his twin brother showed up and took that part.

Here's another one, if you do the 40/60/80 calulation it comes to 65.2%

confirming evidence bias ;-)

Looks like both of these guys knew the material well but were bombed by the subjectivity or format of the morning session. In conclusion, they are like 99% of the people who passed.

The head of CFA exams presented me with my charter and plyon (killer AF member) asked him about this question in a very clever way (without actually describing the question). He said "it was taken into account".

It was likely dropped.

I think this one did pretty well in the entire exam including the AM. It got 5Qs >70% and score 51-70 in Q1 and Q3, which have the most points. I feel it has a sizable margin above the min. passing score (just my opinion).

The first sample may not have a large margin above passing score. However, it also scored OK on the Q1 & Q3.
