Level 2: Fail The table below illustrates your subject matter strengths and weaknesses. The three columns on the right are marked with asterisks to indicate your performance on each question or topic area. Item Set Q# Topic Max Pts <=50% 51%-70% >70% - Alternative Investments 18 - - * - Corporate Finance 36 - * - - Derivatives 36 * - - - Economics 18 * - - - Equity Investments 72 - * - - Ethical & Professional Standards 36 - - * - Financial Statement Analysis 72 - - * - Fixed Income Investments 36 - - * - Portfolio Management 18 * - - - Quantitative Methods 18 - - * We have divided the full group of failed candidates into ten approximately equal score bands. Your score band below shows how your overall score on the exam compares with all other failed candidates. For example, if your reported score band is 1, you scored in approximately the bottom 10% of failed candidates. If your reported score band is 2, your score was within the next band width ranging from approximately the bottom 11% to 20% of failed candidates. If your score band is reported as 10, you scored in the top 10% of all failed candidates. Performance band of your overall score among all candidates who failed the exam: 9 I feel depressed and cannot accept this fact. And I don’t know how can i get the confidence to retake again. Sigh…
100% chance. It says fail at the top. You are also only in the 9th decile of those who failed. So I think you need to accept that and study harder next time…

Lots of illustrations on this board of why 40/60/80 and counting category asteriks really doesn’t tell the whole story - and sometimes can mislead. Based on the asteriks, it looks like a result that was at least close. And being in band 9 means you were up there, but still a little ways off. Your ethics was strong, which would be a likely decider in a truly borderline situation. Overall, don’t feel too depressed. Your result was not that far off and the second time through I would expect you have a very good chance to succeed.
