Does anyone have any scores above the 90th percentile line? There’s five categoreis I have where my blue line is equal with the 90th percentile line. None of them are higher. Does that mean, it’s likely that the 90th percentile line for those categories translates to the candidate got 100% right on that category?

Yes, I have a few categories above 90% and a few right on the 90%… I did see another person’s results and they were at the top of the blue region, meaning they got the highest score possible. I beleive quant’s 90%ile translate into not missing any questions too (because 90%ile mark is at the top of the blue region)

Well them I am bested in competition. Hats off to you.
Passed L2. Way above the 90th percentile line. Looks like a top score. Nice. Didn’t have any time to write any mocks so I was worried going in. Looks like I was worried for nothing.
Tactics:
When you fail, no words can console you. You get that horrible sinking feeling that you just spent an entire year slogging away for nothing. You dread the prospect of another year of studying after a long day at work, missing family/friend gatherings, gaining weight because you’re skipping gym/running, staring at the same notes every day before going to bed, stressing out because you scored in the 60s in a mock, all while contemplating if its worth it when no one around you even knows the difference between a CFA or CA or CPA.
After failing last year, I had actually given up. Then in late January this year I decided to give it another shot. Why? Because I spent a lot of time rethinking my study strategy. Last year I spent too much time focusing on concepts, only to find that the exams don’t test you solely on difficult concepts, but rather on your grasp on the entire curriculum. This means knowing all the qualitative definitions, and model similarities/differences. They ain’t kidding when they say that level II is “A Mile wide and an inch deep”. I stopped stressing about mastering concepts and focusing more on covering every section and key learning objectives. Another thing I did differently this time was keeping very good notes, which helped big time in the final months as I reviewed them daily. Last year I was basically going through every book one by one, which wasn’t very efficient, and I often skipped sections.
I also did more mocks, and checked what other candidates were discussing in AF. This helped big time because you guys asked good questions, and people like 125mph and Magician were always very responsive and helpful.
Wise words!
ps. I also failed last year. it made passing this year so much sweeter.
