CFA likes symmetry. If only you had made one more mistake in Alternative…

abhesheksg, this I think is the most borderline I’ve seen! I would be mad too.

abhisheksg, try copy and pasting your result to http://www.cfasuccess.com/cs/calculator/default.aspx … at first glance I wonder what’s wrong too, but it becomes clearer with the calculator I guess…

Pass >70% in all sections. thanks for the help everyone, only started posting late in the game but lurked the whole time.

Woooo! How you like me now??!?!?!?! This must be one of the lowest scores to pass! But a pass is a pass, I’m not complaining!!!

passed, all are >70%

Checked a little late but passed… barely. Marginal pass is better than a really strong failure though! Congratulations to everyone who passed! Feels good to be moving on. and for all the people computing stats on the AF pass rate I’d probably be considered one of those coming out of the woodwork… only signed up for the exam in mid March and unfortunately didn’t find out about this website until 3 days after the exam

performance score is 10

Yeah like a previous poster said, it really seems that a solid chunk of the passes (and a lot of the failures as well) had FSA scores over 70%… Weird. I don’t recall FSA being noticeably easy but maybe it was.

Must be some Magic between a fail and a pass…i was checking the cfasucess.com, and i found some results as 150,4 as a fail and the same result as a Pass…Probably Ehtics is the border line…Of course using the 40/60/80 is just a guess, but any way…i heard ethics has a different weight…be ware guys…see u…from brazil
