Sorry not band 1 band 10. And to make the point better could be 67% to 67.5%.

If 40% people cleared last year then every band represents 6% of the people who appeared
{(100-40)*10}
A band 4 means that you are in the top 82%, which also means that 82% people scored over 58.33%.

In all these calculations I have taken the minimum values.

Re-read how CFAI explains the bands... They divide the Failing candidates into 10 groups... They don't take the passing candidates or scores into account.
But anyway I don't know if I'm sure what I'm talking about either since I don't work for CFA.. Who cares though

Good luck to all those who have studied hard, and for the rest well thanks for coming out and helping everyone else

Time to hit the hot tub and relax the brain... Can't wait until tomorrow to either destroy it or get destroyed.. Either way I will be able to finally enjoy life and stop living like a loser with no social life

No I assure you I'm not messing with you at all, that's my actual score. I think like one of the posters stated I was probably only like 10 questions away from passing or something, I guess with only 120 questions the band ranges get really tight.

But not down to band 4! that's weird however all i can say is good luck to us .. If i fail, id rather fail band 7-8 not band 9-10..

I would recommend that this is edited or removed as it's a clear violation of CFA Rules.
