I failed band 3. I expected to fail but I didn’t expect band 3! Something doesn’t seem right. My coworker passed level one in december with above 70 in almost everything and put in a TON of time for level 2. He was getting in the 60’s and 70’s with Schweser and thought the test was straightforward and was sure he passed. He was really pissed off when he found out he was band 3, it doesn’t even seem possible. He just got his results today, they had issues uploading his score and had to wait 2 whole day!! Right there tells you that CFA an issue with the test scores.
I am with you guys, I was band 3 too, and while i thought i wasn’t likely to pass (band 8-10) I am having a hard time stomaching that score, especially with FI where i got <50 when I was sure I got >70. Seeing how some of you guys helped me with your posts I don’t get how you did as poorly as I did. I just don’t see how a bunch of people who did well over 350 hrs of studying could do this bad.
The CFA people actually said to my coworker “we have had some issues uploading the scores”
are you f*cking kidding me? In the immortal words of dennis in always sunny…terrible, take a lap.

Frankly I don’t disagree with your comment. In fact, this is exactly my feeling after two attempts on L2. To me, it’s more like a contest of the will than a test of knowledge. So you either be very prepared and accept a small probability of failure, or you do not prepare well and accept failure with almost certainty. That’s how I feel about L2.
Extremely surprising news guys… well I guess I’ll be in good company next year, I failed band 8
I was almost 99% certain that I got at least 70% for the test… and yet I still failed on a band 10… Thought CFAI must have seriously screwed up my test score initally… Now, seeing this many postings with test score surprises, I think the chance of me getting a grade change is slim… CFAI just sent me an email saying the last time they had a grade change after retab was several years ago…
hey everBB , did they communicate anythng abt the time reuired to re grade the test? when will they get back with the new result? before the first deadline of June 2010 (23rd sept)?
the retab form stated it takes 30-60 days, and the form also says" “We strongly encourage you to enroll for the appropriate level of the examination while awaiting the result of your retabulation to ensure you do not miss any deadlines.” suggest you register for the exam if you are not yet sick of it …
