resume background check for cfa

hey guys just out of curiosity, does the CFAI reveal exam details to any 3rd party background check companies like First Advantage if it asks for verification?

I wrote that I passed CFA lv 1 on my resume to apply for an internship at a BB, and if I get the offer, am worried if those background checking guys call up CFAI to verify this and find out that I failed to pass lv2.. I really don't want the bank to know this though..

what's your take? Do they even check whether you passed lv1?
