I saw your matrix and I guess you have at least answered 75 question correctly. Yes, I based on the <= 50%, 51-70% and >70% and rounded the questions to Right/Wrong to speculate how many correct ansers one get right. It game me an impression that the MPS is about 80 or higher. Your matrix is probably the best among band 10. It looks much batter than a pass by fordperfect whose mximum right answer based on the same logic is about 85. So the overlapping range of 10 questions divided you two. In the CFA exams, luck does play a role for people riding on the MPS threshold. I am sure you will make it next year.
That was not much worse than mine but I passed. You must have been very close.
The worst think with band 10 is that next attempt is after 1 year (or 10 months) – enough time to forget a bigger part from the exam. It’s really painful…
I’m in the same boat as you this year:
2013: Band 5
2014: Band 10
2015: Comon! let’s smash it and never have to look at L2 books again!

I am really surprised to see you failed with such a score. here my score,
<=50% : FI PM
51%-70% : EI Ethical FRA Quant
>70%: AI CF Deriv Eco
You must be closer to lower ends. My suggestion is that you put more focus on FRA,CF and Deriv which have higher points compared to other parts.
Give it another go and you will ace it.
First time L2 taker and failed (band 10). Also, last time L2 taker.
After reviewing my results and comparing to those that passed I’m discouraged since it seems as though I performed just as well…the opportunity cost to continue to play CFAI’s game is too high. They’ve lost an advocate.

I got A in Equities, FRA & Ethics, still failed. I guessed I must fail miserably at PM & CF
I got 10 bands in first attempt . it’s really frustrating …is it advisable to try for re tabulation. ?
As a band 10 as well, I looked into this, and it doesn’t seem like it goes in your favor ever, and is a waste of $100.
I actually know someone who went from a fail to a pass via retabulation (on Level 1). But that person scored consistently above 90% on mocks and on the real exam failed miserably and suspected something was wrong.
It’ll be a waste of your $100. But spend it anyway for peace of mind. I’ve retabbed 2x in the past obviously no change.

it’s a waste of money but do it anyway for peace of mind. It’s only advisable if you are some finance genius and you got a band 1. I heard of a case in Hong Kong where a top class MBA guy got band 2 and they found out that they mixed up his paper with someone elses…dunno how true that is.

probably two guys with the same name lol like JAMES CHEN, or WILLIAM HUNG, or DAVID LI
Band 10 here. Thinking about a retabulation ($100)? any thoughts?
