Beginning from the last CFA Level 1 exam conducted in December 2017, CFAI seems to have modified the way results are presented. Earlier, the candidates received an email stating pass or fail, while further elaborating subject wise score range. However in Dec 2017, results were presented in a graphical manner, stating where the overall results of the candidate lied in a percentile format. More info can be found here CFA L1 Dec 2017 Results My question to those who appeared in Dec 2017, how did you get your results ? Via an email or was it uploaded on their website ? The reason I’m asking out is that it would be difficult to send the graphical charts via email.
The Dec-17 results were sent by mail (as a .pdf file in the appendix) as well as uploaded.
does the mail still start with “congratulations/ sincerely regret” ? .
Lol. Like your curiosity. Just get to see the “Dear XXXX, C…” Thats it. You’ve nailed it.
They send an email that just says “passed” or “not passed”. In the email is a link to the direct link to pdf file of the graphical results. During that morning, it took over an hour before I was able to load the pdf. Server was slow as hell.
Any Dec level 1 passers have an example of their graphical results they’re willing to share?
I can share mine but then I might be labeled as a bragger 
It actually looks just like what was posted already: https://connexions.cfainstitute.org/_uploads/_reports/UnderstandingYourExamResult.pdf
