man. rough. keep at it bro
White collar, I wonder who was closer between us? I feel like if I went 7/12 in Ethics I was going to be put through... Its remarkable I scored higher in port mgt and Derivs than I did in ethics.. Switch my ethics score with my derivatives score and I probably go through.. which is ridiculous..
I saw a band 9 fail that it was easy to calculate his worst possible score.. he only failed AI and FI.. meaning assuming minimum of the rest of his ranges
Alt 0 6 0.0% Corp 7 12 58.3% Deriv 9 12 75.0% Econ 4 6 66.7% Equity 17 24 70.8% Ethics 9 12 75.0% FRA 17 24 70.8% FI 0 6 0.0% PM 9 12 75.0% Quant 4 6 66.7% Total 76 120 63.3%
Mind boggling he was band 9 I was band 10... just means I must have been in higher portions of my ranges and they screwed me cause of ethics
Hey, I've been there man. It sucks. No way around it. But keep at it and you can get through it. I finally got through Level II this year. Feel free to PM if want any tips on what I found really made the difference for me. Here's an SB for some encouragement!
minimum passing had to be north of 64 for Level II
passed L1 with >70% in all categories, that test was too easy imo
L2 passed that bitch. High pass rate this time but still feeling lucky.
L2 first attempt. Band 10

Level II Retaker
2012: Failed Band 3 2014: PASS!!!
This was a huge jump. I owe it mostly to having a study partner to share the pain with and hold me accountable for getting to the library.
L1 Passed. Looking forward to having the downtime before picking up the books again. Was dreading having to go back at it for December.
Passed L1. Taking a few months off and then getting an early start on L2.
Passed Level 2! I'm so glad that beast is behind me
Passed Level 1 - Ill enjoy most of football season before jumping back into studying - my team should be out of it by then anyway
Failed Level 1 Band 7
Level 2- pass. One and done
passed L1.
@"zeroblued", hope you passed
passed L1 with 2 weeks of studying
I thank the gods for going easy on me. Will NOT procrastinate on lvl 2. Might even re-study lvl 1 just in case.
passed L1 December, L2 June, tired as hell.
Same for me. L1 band 6 in june 2013, passed in december and passed l2 june 2014. Feeling really lucky right now...
Passed L2! Bring it on L3!
Failed Level 2 on my first go........guess I'll be taking it again next year.
Passed L1 (first attempt). >70% for every topic except quant methods (50%-70%), economics (50%-70%) and derivatives (50%).
Going to start studying for L2 soon-ish, hopefully will begin casually easing into it around the end of August. Should be less painful this way.
Passed Level II after cramming since mid January, which was slightly before my Level I results came out. It sucked oh so hard, but now it feels oh so good. Scored >70% on all except Alt investments and Port MGMT which were in 51-70%
PASSED BABY!
this thread is an excellent example of sampling bias
And self-selection bias
There is no shame whatsoever on struggling with L2. It's a much tougher exam than L1. The problem with L2 is that CFAI is now interacting 3-4 different concepts per question (because of the vignette format) and testing the nuances of all of them. I could go further and share a bunch of IP koolaid about how CFAI defines knowledge for L2, but I am not looking to pick a fight on the exam in this thread.
Remember that the L2 exam averages about a 40% pass rate. The average candidate will take the exam 2.5 times before passing.
For the folks that passed how many are looking to use this as a springboard to make some moves?
Last year after passing L1 I got some looks for investing roles. Interested to see how everyone fares with their endeavors.
Passed Level 1! Was shocked, I didn't take it seriously until the last month, though I did sort of passively study through the coursework I'd taken...
L1 pass. Not quite sure I want to go on to L2.
