40/60/80 score 66% total, 63% for AM and 68% for PM.
Passed while skipping a whole section at the AM part… wow. Feeling pretty religious all of the sudden…
Boom!!! I passed baby; time to celebrate!!! 
Passed. thanks fecking god for that! What an agonising wait that was this afternoon.
bit of a mixed bag but I did a lot better than I thought to be honest. I knew I flunked the 1st institutional and rebalancing question but I thought I’d screwed up FI as well, I didn’t even really know what they were getting at with that question. And what was the deal with the morning Economics question, I was sure I got full marks on that, I’m looking forward to seeing the template answers when they are released…
Afternoon was messy, ethics was a crap shoot as ever and I’m not sure what happened with that performance item set.
Anyway, massive congratulations to all that passed and commiserations to all that failed, all the best for next year.
So glad it’s all over. And now, to drink!

Glad to see that many of the regulars passed, especially CPK and the Gringo. Congrats!
To all of you with 10 or 20 AF points I say, stop spamming.
Passed! Pretty spread out on results, failed economics, fixed income, asset allocation on the AM and ethics on the PM, so actually pretty surprised. Killed it on the Portfolio mgmt stuff though.
Worst sleep ever though. I’ve done really good at not thinking about it at all until the last 12 hours, when multiple nightmares that I’d failed kept waking me up.
-
Results delivered COD through the post office, didn’t have enough money to pay the fees - couldn’t see my result. Woke up, wtf results are emailed bro.
-
Got the package from post, opened it - fail. Woke up, wtf, see above.
3-5. Several instances of falling asleep and following up after #2. Major stress that my mailed result was a fail.
- Waiting on porch for emailed results. Jumped by a gigantic freakin lioness. At this point it was 4am and I just got up and played super mario.
Passed!
