June 2018 CFA level 3 result thread

CFA Level III
#101

Passed. Great relief after Band 10 last year.

AM Essay: Scored right on the 50% mark.

PM Item Set: Scored just over the 70% marker.

In no topic did I score above the 90th percentile and in no topic did I score below the 10th - but happy to be average considering I really missed the ball on studying this year.

Best topic was ethics - it was also my _ only _ topic where I scored over 70%…but I also did not score below 50% in any topic… I really am extremely average.

Congrats to all who passed. Best of luck next year to those who didn’t!

2/3/2…passed

#103

PASSED! What a relief! I took L1 in December 2012, failed L2 twice before passing and failed L3 band 8 last year but am finally DONE!

#104

Just got the results while I’m at the beach and seeing I passed! Yesss!

#105

Passed. Thankfully hard work does pay off sometimes; also, the positive contributions and time shared by willing individuals on this forum definitely help.

Looks like pretty much everyone scored >56% in the Item set, with LOTS of people performing poorly in the Essay

I Scored Close to 90th percentile for Essay AM, and close to 10th percentile for Item Set PM

#106

I can’t believe that 90 percentile line for AM essay was BELOW the 70% mark. That’s shocking to know how hard the essay was for everyone.

#107

PASSED!!! Thank you to everyone on this forum

#108

Failed, really close to MPS line so pretty bummed.

Alts and Equit < 50

Behavioral, Econ, Ethics, and Trading 50-70

Fixed Income >70

Thinking of doing a retab since it was so close, not sure if its worth it but for peace of mind ill probably spend the $100.

#109

PASSED!!!..YAY!!!

#110

Passed! Still sinking in.

#111

Failed last year band 4 last year, was shocked. Less studying this year but used LevelUp, passed pretty easily. So great knowing I can burn all of my materials, not selling any of it, I’m burning it. I have everything from all three levels ready to go.

#112

Passed! RIght at the 90% line for essay and MC. What a relief.

#113

Passed

Thank you S2000

#114

Passed but I was closer to the MPS thant I would expect.

#115

Took the revenge of my L2 Band 10

Top 10% tile in L3, no mocks :wink:

#116

Couldnt sleep much last night, but I PASSED!!!

The scoring and the breakdown are bit different from last year. Available points are still <50%, 50%-70% and >70% but there is the percentile score 90% and 10%, the number of categories is 7 instead of 10 and there is a general breakdown of AM essay and PM item set.

Alternative/Risk Mgmt/Derviatives: slightly above 70%

Behavorial/Private Wealth/Institutional: slightly above 70%

Econ/Asset Allocation: slightly below 70%

Equity: slightly above 70%

Ethics: slightly below 70%

Fixed Income: slightly above 70%

Trading/Performance Evaluation/GIPS: slightly above 50%

Essay: about 55%

Item Set: above 70% and above 90% percentile

Haha looks like my afternoon offset my morning. My AM practice had been consistently 50% for the past couple years of mocks and I’m glad I managed to keep it that way. The surprise is I managed to do well in Econ/Asset Allocation as I BS most of the problem set in the essay section. The Alternative is also surprising because I left a major part blank due to long calculation involved and I was out of time.

#117

Passed and just check the members directory, and my name already have the CFA suffix, can then begin to use CFA?

#118

Congrats VWJetty was pulling for you big time

#119

I am with you but not sure if it’s worth retabbing! I was literally on the MPS line…my PM was so bad compared to what I imagined it to be…closer to bottom 10% which is shock to me and I wonder if retab would do anything…my concern is its a waste of $100 as if they change even one fail to pass by a way of retab they open a can of worms and set prescedent so doubt they will…I am just curious if I bubbled wrong cause no chance I did so poorly on PM based on what I thought…at a loss for words

#120

Passed. LevelUp all the way.
