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...

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

Easier than expected <> Easy.

I know people who wrote they thought it was easy, but don't think they got over 60% correct. I guess that means they think they are stupid.

The test was maybe "Easy for you", but the exam was difficult. If you say otherwise, you're being obnoxious--it was a difficult exam. . . period .

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.

I disagree guys. Please go back and look at the posts from June 6h through June 12th. You will see what I mean.
An overwhelming 80% plus thought that the exam was easier than what they had expected it to be. Even though they fell for some tricks, on an average, many felt that the exam was easy or easier compared to previous years.

Best of luck to you all in your forthcoming exams.

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

My guess is 65%. I think of it like the passing score is a 70%, but the CFAI throws out a few bad/unfair questions, 65% will get you a pass.

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%.
