DOES THIS ERROR MEAN I FAILED?

CFA Level III
#1

I just went on the CFAI website, Candidate Resources and clicked on Registration Confirmation and I got an Error:

WF_ERR-CUSTOM_1: No Registration was found for Person Id “xxxxxxx” in Program ‘CFA’ (SBL-BPR-00131)

I guess it means I failed the exam.

#2

Go to access 2017 scholarship. If it says on the screen you’re not eligible for scholarship…then you passed. At least that’s the prevailing assumption at this point.

#3

It says: “The access Scholarship for the 2017 exams is now available”, which means I FAILED.

#4

No, it just means you didn’t register for an exam - since you know, you’re waiting for LIII results

#5

Can you please check that too?

#6

Everyone has that error… it doesnt mean anything.

#7

Have this as well

#8

Thank you Alisha. I guess I am just freaking out right now.

#9

I don’t have a link to apply for Access Scholarship anywhere on the page.

#10

To See the access scholarship,

1). Login to member page 2.) In search box " apply Scholarship" 3.) scroll to bottom of scholarship page, click to apply 4.) As soon as you click to apply, you should see a link in your “Manage applications” profile.

this is where some people are seeing either 1 or two messages and there is another thread about this.

#11

Thank you. I see 2 messages there.

#12

Wait a minute, it allows me to begin the application process for 2017 scholarship, I got to a page asking for references and a short description why I want to earn the CFA Charter…that means I failed???

#13

I don’t know why I’m entertaining this, but we’re already through the looking glass, so…

  1. Are you a CFA member or just a candidate (did you get work approval yet)?

  2. Are you an affiliate?

3: Did you feel you passed?

For the record, I felt I passed and I’m a CFA member (not a charterholder, of course). I have both messages.

#14

Before we jump to conclusions…are you a CFA member or a candidate only?

#15

The point is not whether you can proceed to apply for the scholarship.

It is whether you have “Not eligible for scholarship” or do not - if you have it, possibly passed. If you don’t, possibly failed.

Its well explained, with illustrations and examples, in the other thread.

#16

I dig what you’re saying, but I was trying to eliminate as many variables as possible. A big variable (outside of exam results, of course, is if you’re a CFA member or not).

#17

  • I am a L3 candidate only.

  • I felt that I did Ok, but with this exam you never know.

#18

This “hints,” I’d stop short of saying “it signifies” that the variable is not CFA membership status.

#19

What changes if you are a Member or a Candidate?

I can not see the “no eligible” box, and I am a regular member (work experience approved).

#20

It was simply another variable.
