It’s obvious some 1 boxers and 2 boxers passed so this theory is unequivocally bulls*** If both banker99 and topperharley fail (1 boxers apparently)… i will personally pay for their retabs
On the one hand, this “tell” makes a lot more sense than last years’ long-error/short-error message debacle, which was plain stupid.
On the other hand, this “tell” can be just a website malfunction as I’m sure a lot of CFA Level I and II candidates must be applying for scholarship, not to mention the frenzied AF CFA Level III members applying and withdrawing their applications.
For what its worth, I have the “Not eligible” message, am a CFA member, and would be quite surprised if I fail. I have never applied for scholarship before.
Too many overconfident of pass candidates with the 2 Boxes, and overconfident of fail candidates with the 1 Box.
I wouldn’t be too concerned about this but the fact that those confident in failing is in the same group as me seriously scares me.
Then again, quite possibly because those with 1 Box are not forth coming and those with 2 Boxes are, and the fact that those on borderlines or just below borderlines with 2 Boxes had reinforced their confidence of passing raising their own assessment from borderlines to 6/10 or 7/10 after seeing this could play a part…
I was a Regular CFA member, but let it lapse in 2009 [So not sure of what it is now]
Expectation : 6/10 [Expect to score 70% in most areas, but not sure of ethics at all]
The website seems to have other issues too.
(a) I was trying to renew my membership (Which was possible till a few days ago, but wanted to wait till the results - I am unlikely to take the test again or membership, if I FAIL today). Now, when I attempt, I get the following error.
We detected an Error which may have occurred for one or more of the following reasons:
At least one record must be selected to execute this action. (CFA_MBRACTION_100) (SBL-EXL-00151)
(b) I am now able to apply for fresh membership, that was not the case till yesterday. Some sections still display 'RENEW MEMBERSHIP".
Edit : If I use certain links, I am able to progress towards REACTIVATE MEMBERSHIP. Also I do not find myself in the Member directory (May be the case, if its a lapsed membership)
