Nah, he's just calculated it based on the three ranges and where he placed in the ten groupings.

Best wishes but no advice until after 8/16 on passing since that would be a bit premature.

Given that L3 is mostly portfolio management and you were < 50% on PM...I would start there!

And, Since PM is over 50% of the LIII material telling someone to start there is like saying read the even pages first...
