many congratulations on passing your L1 exam. i myself failed it for my june 2013 attempt… your perseverance got you through!
what i find strange is that you only failed equity and pm in your first attempt and that you got >70% in ethics, which i’ve heard helps the overall weightage in passing the exam. do you mind me asking what band did you fail at?

My first fail was Band 8. Second Band 10.
Sorry for my ignorance but what Band 8 and Band 10, etc. mean ?

Band 8 and 10. Uhh that sucks.
@ MikeMorin: The bands mean how bad (or how not so bad) you did if you failed. Band 10 is almost passed.
I’m not sure if they divide the people who fail in 10 deciles based on the number of people having failed or somehow based on the socre?
