how is this possible?!

has anyone ever got a better grid or similar grid and still failed?!! i must got like 0 on eco and ethics… 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 Reporting & Analysis 72 - - * - Fixed Income Investments 36 - - * - Portfolio Management 18 - - * - Quantitative Methods 18 - * - band 10

What’s your band?

nevermind - got it - 10

I think the breaking point for you was not getting >70 on Equity. You may have been closer to 50% in that section and that would really hurt. Here is what I got. I failed two sections but they were both 18pts (Econ and Quant). And I got >70 on only 4 sections but these were Equity(72) FSA(72) Derivatives(36) and PM(18) Level 2: Pass 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 Reporting & Analysis 72 - - * - Fixed Income Investments 36 - * - - Portfolio Management 18 - - * - Quantitative Methods 18 * - -

I think mdecav’s result is the most outrageous I’ve seen so far.

If you question how it’s possible you should study how ouliers can affect the mean. You can have the same breakdown and totally different scores. I just put the break down into excel and the exam score could be between 56.9 and 79.5.

don’t feel it is possible

Hi, Me too in band 10. I don’t know how this is possible… Similar to yours. Check out m results below: AI - >70% Corp fin>70% Derivatives<50% Econ>70% Equity>51-70% Ethics>51-70% FRA>70% Fixed income>51-70% Portfolio>51-70% Quants>51-70% So I failed the exam coz I failed derivatives??? Guys…ny explanation?
