I remember seeing a few posts on where people who passed said that they were planning on reaching out to the institute to request a breakdown of their score.
Just curious to see if anyone had any joy with this?
I know the breakdown means sweet f all, but a part of me is still really curious to find out what I got aha
Waste of time; they’re not going to give passers their breakdown.
Thought as much. The curiosity will probably kill me one day!
Do we know why they don’t provide a score breakdown for people who passed?
In a world where transparency is becoming more and more important, the CFA Institute seems to be going in the opposite direction. I really find it difficult to believe there is a justifiable reason.
I also wish they gave a detailed result to passers. But I understand why they don’t, I guess.
Part of it is probably because, since they now give the top 10% results on L1 and L2, they didn’t want L3 to create “caste levels” of charter holders. They just want to make it about the CFA - and thereby create brand value around the charter not the tests. As you may see on people’s CVs and LinkedIn profiles, you have a lot of folks advertising their scores and performance at the various levels. Rather than making a difference between someone who scored in the top 10% for all levels, they likely stopped it at L3 so everyone who passed could only say the same thing - and employers asking for test scores could only SEE the same thing. I think this is an intentional step to preserve the value of the entire charter and not divide it into achievement levels.
Having said that - I’d also like to have seen my score haha. 
That would make sense but surely they could just omit the 90th percentile score in that case. And just show your score relative to the mps, maybe that would address the issue, idk. The institute are weird
I actually came out the exam thinking that I’d failed so I’d just love to know whether I literally scraped it and get just over the mps or whether I passed comfortably. I guess we’ll have to live without knowing
Just tell yourself you smoked it because that’s all the information we have 
I think they used to show granular scores up to 2017 at least, for L3. I could be wrong but I think they did this. The main thing is for re-takers or folks who didn’t pass to be able to see how close they got, and allow evaluators to estimate the MPS. I guess they have enough data with the folks who didn’t pass, to accomplish both things. The rest of us are proud equal members of the CFA order! I’d also love to see our scores though, just to evaluate how things actually went versus expectations etc. Cheers and congrats again on the CFA! We did it!
Agree. Yes it’s finally over… forever!!!
For those who dint pass like me they don’t even provide AM and PM score or even score at total level in each session. I failed very very close to MPS (like 30% of blue box was above MPS, i did share screen shot in my other post). Because of lack of details in result, it’s hard for me to gauge if it was AM (CBT impact on AM) or PM section. This could help me in preparing for next attempt.
Anyways, there are numbers of things which are no less than a pure BS that institute does (specially recently). The test (specially L3) itself is a joke… zero respect for this institute. In recent years/month, this institute has clearly showed its just a piece of a wanna be institute and trying hard but failing brutally to be like other prestigious institute within US and outside US.
I failed also and could benefit from that as well.
One of my biggest frustrations with the new exam format was that it was much shorter. I found large chunks of topic areas were not on the exam and other topic areas seem to have only 1 MC question.
I walked out of the exam pretty comfortable though, I thought I would pass. (previously, just missed out in 2019). I did think on the day that a decent part of my strongest areas were missing in the exam, which stay in the back of my mind.
In the end I just missed out again, blue shaded area was about 40% over the MPS so was very frustrated. I’ve signed up for Nov. Exam and will focus on weak areas being Fixed income and derivatives.
