One comment to some of the passers. If you thank god for passing, then it also means that god was bad / unkind to the 57% who did not pass. That would definitely mean that god is a bad guy/gal because he plays favorites like human beings. Just my thoughts. Could not resist sharing. I feel that it would be humble to realize that those who passed, did so partly because of luck (confluence of many factors, including our background, family support, financial support etc. etc.) and partly because of perseverance. Come on guys / gals. Earth is in one corner of Milky way Galaxy which itself is in another corner of the universe and why would any supernatural being worry about you. Are you arrogant enough to assume so much of importance for yourself.
Thanks erobak. Congratulations to you too bud.

If someone refers to the Christian God then they should be thanking God for passing as well as if they did not pass. Thanking God only for passing would be the same as thanking your parents for never disciplining you. The best thing for your life is not always what you want…in that sense I agree with your comment about thanking God for passing, in a way…
Scored less than 50% in each of the following six areas (and passed): -Alt. Investments -Corp. Finance -Economics -Fixed Income -Portfolio Management -Quant. Can someone tell me what this band level is all about and how do you calculate it?

Are you arrogant enough to > assume so much of importance for yourself. are you serious? people can thank whoever they want for passing this exam without it turning into some rubbish debate… they could thank their dog if that’s how they choose to celebrate and i wouldn’t be the least bit offended. come on now… please stop and don’t spin this into some theological discussion… allow those who passed to enjoy their moment and respect it, i am certain that they will show you the same courtesy.

I think you may well have the MPS acorona - lucky bastard 
Put my results on a spreadsheet and determined that the passing score this year cannot be much over 60%. What is this “band” stuff all about?
