Does anyone have any idea what the MPS was? My 40/60/80 was 61% so I’m guessing that I barely got by, perhaps due to the Ethics adjustment. Meanwhile, a coworker got a 40/60/80 of 63% and failed.
how can i know my MPS ?
MPS= minimum passing score. Cfa doesn’t reveal it but we can guesstimate. The 40/60/80 rule is a way to approximate your score.
What were your section scores?
I’m not quite sure how I passed really. The MPS can’t be much lower than mine.
40/60/80 score of 54%
Max score of 64.3%
Min score of 34.3%
Section scores were as follows
>70%
Alternative Investments
51%-70%
Corporate finance
Derivatives
Equity Investments
Ethics
Financial Reporting & Analysis
Portfolio Management
<=50%
Economics
Fixed Income

I was ready to start studying to take level 1 again in december and was shocked when I passed on my first try.
Cheers to passing with the bear minimum!
I had you for about
Best 64.10% Probable 62.00% Worst 59.91%
^^I just used the 300hours estimate numbers (link below)
http://www.300hours.com/blog/the-cfa-level-i-ii-june-2014-results-roundup#.U9vuWJRdXOE
My 40/60/80 is 71%. Minimum of 59% max of 87%.
I thought this was kind of the lowest but now I’m surprized.
Difficult to estimate though, these bands are too wide.
My 40/60/80 is a 60.0 and I failed with a band 10. The only section that I was <50 was fixed income. Everything else was in the middle with the excepiton of AI which was >70.
I realize this… I am of the belief that the 40/60/80 consistently understates scores if the majority of topic scorse are in the >50>70 bands. I feel that, logically, 65-67 is a more realistc representation of this category
What is 40/60/80?
Not sure on how the 40/60/80 forumla works. But I had the below results what seems better than CFAhopeful above and I failed band 10

My breakdown (61%MPS) is below. Only studied for 10 weeks for 150-160 hours so fortunate to pass. Purposefully spent less time on the sections that I failed so no surprise there. Seems like the Ethics adjustment may have worked in my favor.

Level II should be no problem for you.
I failed too and my score was:

Why do you say that? Because of my strong sections? Or because I passed without putting in full 300 hrs?
