@CFA\_10

Is anyone able to access 300hours result analysis?

Estimated to be 61%, for a Band 8 Fail.

[jediknerd]

Well, moot point validating the theories now, results are results! WOOT WOOT!

@jamespeer

@Chimmers

Can someone explain what you mean by 1 box or two boxes or whatever?

Yesterday a bunch of us tried to apply for scholarship on cfa institute website. Some people saw one box for application only, other saw two boxes with the lower box saying ‘Not eligible’. It seems that all of us ‘two boxers’ have passed

[Portfolio_Manager]

PASSED with two boxes!!

[Blackou]

Passed.

Surprised by low results for Portfolio Management: Institutional and by the good score in Ethics (almost randomly filled)

lol I can’t believe that that is even a thing. You people are way too paranoid. Anyways I passed woohoo!!

[divanke]

To all who didn’t pass, don’t give up! The number posts here, of passed candidates outnumber the ones who didnt. So its not representative.

Glad to be done with this. Passed. Thanks analysforum.

74% on 40/60/80, 99th percentile on 300hours!

I genuinely think that Ethics was adjusted, and some questions phased out. Only 5% scored less than 50% in the sample, and I pretty much did not study it this year, not even AMC.

But what the ****, who am I to complain.

Have you tried to do the same thing today to see how many boxes you have?
