CFA® Percentiles
Obviously employers care about GPAs a lot.
But do they care whichCFA®
percentile you end up in (if they hold any regard for the CFA®
firstly)?

I have no real idea, but my gut tells me...
I'm kinda hungry.
Well, it also tells me that employers probably don't really give a shit about your percentile, as long as you've got that CFA charter. Anyone with some actual knowledge want to back me up on this?
I don't think they care what band you score in. Just as long as you successfully pass each section.
Percentiles are meaningless for the CFA exams. I think it is an ethics violation to state you passed all levels with >70%. No one passing candidate is better than another simply by scoring higher, or something like that.
Yeah no percentiles and no one cares anyway as long as you passed. However, I have seen something where people mentioned that they passed all 3 levels on the first try (seen this more than once).
You're allowed to do this as long as you don't imply that it makes you better than otherwise...
Agreed, I would just put that you are a charter holder, or passed level X. Anything else like "passed all three on the first try" makes you look like a tool.
Nice picture by the way...
Nobody is ever going to ask to see your actual results. As others have said you would be the king of douches if you actually put the exam percentiles on your resume.
