Band 10 and scored 70% Ethics and they Failed me emphasis, particular, passing, Failed

JustasS

Anyone else end up in Band 10 with a strong score in Ethics? Following are my results. I still can’t get over not passing. There is no recourse (tabulation is not regrading, but I forked over the $100). Also, came across this on CFA site:
What is the “ethics adjustment”?
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.
I just can’t reconcile how I failed other than getting a 0 on Fixed Income in the afternoon. Here are my results:

bobg, i’m in the same boat. i think we are the only ones on AF that had 10 70%s and failed. maybe there was one other… not a club i want to be in. ethics should’ve saved you i think.
my second time on L3 too and i thought i killed it. i filed for retab as well. they probably take the $100 and just as quickly email back it’s still a fail, but you never know. “what was all that one in a million talk?”
how ‘bout i only give CFAI $50, but we go out back, they kick me in the nuts and we call it even? so rigged…

I’m in a similar situation except IPS did me in. I also paid the $100 only because it’s worth the 1 in 1000000 to be done with this and get my spring back.
