my 40/60/80 score is 61.67%.
I have a in 6(including ethics which is of 36 marks), b in 2 and c in 1 in the afternoon session.
I have c in 5 , b in 4 and a in 1 in the morning session. I got band 7.
my scores give me a feeling as if graders missed grading me in some of the morning questions where i received 5 C.
Because getting band 7 can only be possible with near about 0 score in the 5 C that i received in the morning exam.
Going for retab.
It will depend on which questions in the morning you bombed and by how much. The result is very well possible to be honest. Just look at the question weights in the AM and consider that c is anything between 0 and 50%.

first post…
band 10
61.8%
min = 47.9
max = 75%
33rd percentile
absolutely gutted, put in a lot of work. just couldn’t remember stuff on exam day that i did the previous night.
Overall 64.1%
Min 53.4%
Max 77.9%
Morning matrix works out to 56%
Afternoon matrix works out to 72%
This rule of 40/60/80 doesn’t make sense to me especially for evening part where you are above 70 in the section and you clearly knows about the possible marks
Even in the morning part I know certain question where I was dead sure that I will get full marks especially the calculation part question likes of risk management
I can totally relate. I was thrown in 7th band while i have 6 a (including ethics which is of 36 marks) , 2b and 1 c in the afternoon. Somehow they screwed me over in the morning paper. I calculated that I am scoring just above 50% by inlcuding the afternoon paper and 5 questions in the morning papers where i had score b in 4 and a in 1. I counted 0 marks in C and yet scoring 50% by taking the least marks in the b and a sections of the morning. This certainly doesnt add up to 7th band. Applied for retabulation. wish they had a provision for rechecking as well. would have been fair not only for the students but also for the financial industry as a whole.
40/60/80=67.1%
Min=55%
Max=83%
70th percentile
60.4% and passed. I definitely feel fortunate but felt decent leaving the room and was testing in the mid to high sixties.
What I would say is that 40/60/80 does not apply nearly as well in L3 as L2 and L1 because the AM has a huge downside skew. I firmly believe that candidates that had MPS in the low 60s but were had very low AM scores (sub 50) failed. I think the CFA has a minimum MPS for both AM and PM.
Pretty sure 300 hours distribution is way skewed to passers. Probably only failed band 9/10 would bother to put their scores in. I passed with MPS of 60.4% and was 24th percentile on 300 hours
can you post your matrix?
I literally made an account on AF just to post my ridiculous results.
PASSED
Estimate - 59.7%
Min - 45.4%
Max - 72.4%
i scored <50% for both Ethics portions too.
you’re like the tiger woods of CFA
Totally. I’d be willing to say a larger percentage of those who failed don’t know about (or don’t visit) AF nor 300 Hours.
Please post your results
really undecided about a retab. I sent an email to CFA asking if there has ever been a change in mark due to a retab, they replied about how rigorous their grading process is and that the individual replying has never seen a change from a retab sent to them.

The estimate score is close to my mocks. I did 6 Schwesers, and consistently got around 55% for AM, and 75% for PM.

it looks like the key is to not get any C’s in morning session
Very strange- 40/60/80 is 60.3% and I failed band 9. My minimum score is 45.5% and my maximum score is 73.3%.
