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..

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.

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

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

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.

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

The bands dont refer to any specific range of scores, they refer to the percentage of test takers. Band 1 could the 10% and they could have all scored between 65% and 67%. Don't read into the band numbers, they dont tell you anything unless you got band 10 and then they tell you to shoot yourself, and 10 more hours prob would have been a pass.

Thats good analysis , but I think If you looked at everyone who failed, 90% of those would be between 55% and 70%..

A minimum of 4/6 to get in the mid bracket
A minimum of 7/12 to get in the mid bracket
A minimum of 13/24 to get in the mid bracket

Adds up to 70/120 with the weightings mentioned.
58.33% = Band 4 ??

Swanand

Lol tell me how you think minimum score they got was 58.33

If they everything between 51 and 70... Isn't the absolute min score a 51?

Just wondering if this 58 is a random number or actually some kind of math that I'm unaware of

I too think this post has been messed with... UNLESS they literally scored among the bottom range of all the topics.. But still a 50ish percent seems like it'd be better then band 4 eh
