Hello guys, I wrote the CFA Level 1 Exam last December and I got band 9, and I rewrote it again this June and I’m pretty sure I can comfortably say I think I got at least 15-20 more marks in comparison to last time. Is there a good chance I will pass this exam just based on your predictions?

Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.

Sorry, there was a typo in the original topic, I actually received a Band 10 in December. Nevertheless, I was just curious how many marks people think seperate each bands.

Simple calculation shows there CANNOT be 15-20 marks for each band.

Haha, stop messing with his head.

15-20 more correct answers means getting 6.25-8.33% more of the questions correct, and assuming you got 55% in your last try, that’s a performance that is better by 11.36-14.7%.

Is this decent? No doubt. Is it enough? Maybe, but no one can tell you with certainty at this point. Ethics adjustment, higher MPS, etc can affect it for the better or worse.

From CFAI:

Beginning with June 2008 results, CFA Institute provided failed
candidates with additional information to help them decide
whether to continue to pursue the designation. The total
number of candidates who failed at each level were divided
into 10 groups or score bands. Failing candidates can now see
how they performed relative to all other failing candidates.
The highest score bands indicate proximity to the MPS.
