Congratulations, Roberto!
Passed - not pretty, relieved as hell. 3 from 3 in exams, had the long error message.
Starting to sink in that I’ll probably never have to stress for another exam in my lifetime.

Congratulations, 60!
Far out, man.
Passed!! I’m more of a lurker in this forum, but all the posts here were very helpful.
Thank you. Good luck to all future and current candidates!
Congratulations, dcavici!
I passed!!! And I left the equivalent of three essay questions blank!!! PM saved me!!!
I definitely HAVE to repeat this that I’ve read before, if it helps at least one future candidate, I will consider it worth it: Even if you think you did a horrible AM part, and you start feeling disappointed, STOP that IMMEDIATELY and start focusing in destroying PM, because you are completely wrong if you think it is already over.
This forum helped me a lot. Here are my results in case it helps for some database (40/60/80 rule only applies here as a whole, because it improves my real AM results and worsen my real PM results. Overall, PM saved me well enough to have a 67%):

I passed =)
Thank you all for your valuable input during exam preparation.
Overall, I found the exam very very easy to be honest. I was shy to admit thinking I might have probably made huge mistakes which made me think the exam was actually easy.
I couldnt attempt 20% of AM due to time constraints… otherwise I found it exceptionally easy…
PM was a piece of cake. I finished it in 1.5 hours and slept for a good hour after that.
I was expecting to get more than 70 in all PM questions though. I roughly put in 200 hours for Level III. But I did all of schweser’s practice exams along with past cfa AM exams.
I felt very prepared before going in for the exam.
