Does LII have the borderline pass/fail depend on ethics? I distinctly remember if your MPS for LI is uncertain, falls within the ‘grey area’, then it depends on whether you scored well on Ethics as to giving you a pass or fail. This applicable for L II?
I think that whole thing about ethics getting extra attention is BS. Whether you pass is based solely upon your score.
You distinctly remember as in …you distinctly remember reading a CFAI publication that said this or …you distinctly remember hearing unfounded rumors that this was the case?
sorry, it’s been a long day.
Personally, I don’t think any “grey area” of scores exists once the MPS has been determined.
If there was it wouldn’t be an MPS.
For all you speculators, YES CFAI DOES look at the ethics portion. If you are borderline pass/fail, they will look at your ethics. If your ethics was well, then they look at FSA, if by then they are still not sure, they will look at Asset Valuation. Although you have to be in a very slim area to be in the grey area but CFAI does look at it. One of the Schweser instructors was a marker for the CFA exams when it was written and he said that is how the system works.
for asset valuation, do you mean equity valuation?

yes
Just to make sure, they wouldn’t put corporate finance into consideration, is it? Thanks. deep2002 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > yes
don’t know about corp finance. Now you know as much as I do.

This is f*cking retarded, you add 2 or 3 more items on there and they pretty much look at everything if you’re borderline. Some of those guys teaching workshops are so full of sh*t when it comes to speculation their eyes are brown. Like the guy someone posted on here who was running an australian or New Zealand workshop said you had to score at least 80-90% on practice tests to have a chance of passing, bogus.
i’d be pissed if i had the same score as someone else and they passed because they did better on ethics and i did better on say, port mgmt. that said, that rumor or whatever it is has been going around at level 1 for a really long time to think there is no truth to it. but if it is true, i think it’s horsesht.
Everyone knows that if its borderline they look at quant as quant permeates into every other section of the exam. If you’re border line on teh exam but blitz quant you’re through. This is why the exam isn;t very numerically intensive (you barely needed a calc on ec 07 L1) to make Quant a fair tie break. I’ve heard so many “this is how they score the exam roumours” its stupid. Yes some of them sound persuasive and some are from people who you think might (just might) know what they’re talking about (although it’s never from anyone who is in teh inner circle) that they gain traction. So the above quant decider is my theory just made up based on absolutely nothing. I encourage everyone to keep it going so that in 20 years when another poor intake are struggling with pricing FRAs and spotting obsure etical violations (hopefully not still including me) they still talk in hushed tones about whether they’ll scrape trhough on the quant add back and you’ll know it is all made up by someone who was bored and in need of a break from equity valuations. If you think we should be better than making up ruomors then think again and look at all teh posts that come out on this topic every year.
Schweser gets all of their ideas from AF anyways, so it wouldn’t surprise me that they would say that.
