CFA Level 1 Exam RESULTS and Discussion

Passed, with only 3 categories in the 51-70% range (FRA, Equities, Derivatives which is kinda funny considering I do ER but whatever). Everything else (I think 7 categories) was over 70%.

Interesting that the pass rate seemed kinda high this december, they said it's at 43% whereas I thought it was usually ~38%. I also thought this was a bit harder than all the practice exams so it's interesting the pass rate was higher, but again just happy to take the pass and move on to L2.

I passed, although I wasn't feeling very confident.
6 topics in >70% and only Economics in the 50% band. Having only used the CFA Institute material to prep I was feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the breadth of the material before the exam.

Passed as well. Schweser is the way to go

Passed. On to the next one.

Passed!

Is it so common in the US for UGs to take Level 1? I'm assuming that a lot of the above posters are still at university (judging from the 'prospective monkey' title).

Congrats passers!

For those of you going on to L2, I can't stress enough how much harder it is. So I suggest plan to study at least twice as much as you did for L1. And to the guy asking, I did take a course but ended up thinking it was a waste of time. I actually quit going because I'd rather spend those three hours every thursday at home studying what I needed to know rather than reviewing the stuff I already figured out.

Passed. All >70% except econ.

passed. Started in on level II and the quant section already is substantially harder

failed not even close...fml

passed 70%> on most , cept ECON, Quant, and Ethics....Dunno how i passed when i scored so poorly on like the 3 highest weighted portion of the test. (50%70%). And i just found out scores came out weeks ago today from a friend because I didn't get the email.
