Allright so I had a look at http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?12,751143,page=1 where a bunch of AF regulars signed a ‘pledge’ that they would pass the level 2 examination. It was signed the week before the exam. Now since many people assume that AF regulars have a higher passing rate than the global average I checked these names with the results to see what the passing rate was. Result: 54% of these people passed for sure. I could not find 27,5% and 18,5% of them failed. That is higher than the global average. Even if you count the unknowns as fails. From the top of my head I selected the names of those of whom I am sure they were regular participants in discussions and the pass rate of those people was 66% with 19,5% failing and 12% unknown. So you can say that the AF passing rate is higher than the global average although it is not as high as many assumed when it was discussed a few weeks ago.
