Is each question on the test worth the same amount of points?

CFA Level II
#1

Is the test equal weighted? Even after the CFA makes whatever adjustments they make?

#2

Yes.

#3

Thank you.

#4

My pleasure.

#5

WRONG. Ethics are worth slightly more to determine the tiebreaker of those right at the passing score.

#6

lol what?

i’ve never heard of this before

#7

I wouldn’t plan to be on the edge, so they’re all worth the same amount.

#8

Well pin a rose on your nose.

#9

wink

Okay, I know we like to speculate and everything about this. But I basically lined up with a colleague in terms of score, except I got more than 70 on FRA and Equity, but failed ethics, and he got between 50-70 on Ethics and FRA and more than 70 on equity. He passed, I didn’t. I don’t know how it could be possible if Ethics wasn’t somehow super weighted. It just doesnt make sense. I didn’t fail anything else.

#11

Wow.

(Going to take another look at ethics)

#12

You could have failed ethics really bad and were on the borderline >70 for FRA and Equity i.e 2 persons having the same range e.g. >70 doesn’t mean they had the same score.

#13

ethics only helps in borderline case such as within 0.5% of passing, maynot be huge advantage

#14

I have seen people score in band 10 and more than 70 in ethics, so band for ethical adjustment must be narrow like 1% or so near borderline.

#15

Thank God coz I scored <50% in the 2013 mock (cannot believe this!!)…
