It’s eeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssssyyyyyyyyyyy, some 70% of the participants passed this one annually not so long ago 
I think the best way to approach the test is to enjoy the experience (as mentioned earlier by a couple of folks). The level 2 test does take its toll on you - just the amount of time you ll be required to put in can surprise a lot of people, as well as the amount of material you are required to master and remember (seems never ending actually). Boils down to taking things one step at a time, and making a commitment to yourself to get the CFA. Dont keep thinking about how hard level 2 is or what the pass rates are. In the end, just plan for one exam at a time. Remember, its basically just you and the test. If you put in the time, you should pass irrespective of what happens to the others.
