Based on this forum I guess the pass rate is going to be 20%

It seemed like 80% of AFers thought the exam wasn’t that bad. My bet is that a lot of the folks posting Band 8, 9, or 10 fails will probably end up passing. I feel pretty confident that I passed. I might have screwed up one of the CF vignettes, but I doubt it was enough to do too much damage.

I messed up Alternative Inv, 5 multiple choices in Corporate, not sure about derivatives, and god knows how i did in 2 vignettes in equity 
… that’s why im saying band 8. I dont really know how I did although im confident about quants, eco, FSA, portfolio, fixed income.
I was “cautiously optimistic” but after discussing with others, I’m just nervous…
Pass - maybe 60-70% confident. Nothing I didn’t know but I wasn’t as sure of my answers like in lvl 1.
Overall Passing rate: 38% - 44%
Agree with rate…I honestly had a guesstimate at 42%…When I saw last years was pass rate at 39%, I knew it didn’t bode well and I had a band 9 fail. Tomorrow the first thing I will look at is the quoted pass rate. If it is >45% I will look at my result If it is <35% I will never look at my email, there would be no point…
Agree anything less than 40% pass rate I’m toast.

40% + might see me through…If its anything less than that, I might not make it. With so many candidates registered for Level 2, CFAI might bring down that pass rate under 35 to keep its quality. That’s worrying me.
I predict that I will pass, I felt real strong coming out of the exam, and really nothing has changed since then, i figure someone has to pass right?
I was a band 7 last time, so hoping for at least some kind of improvement. Don’t feel like taking it again though. Might scrap the idea and go for an MBA instead and revisit this during b-school
Are you homo-sapiens ready for 9 am??!!??!!
Ok folks, you guys are an awesome bunch. Reading this forum is like therapy to me since you guys are the only ones that understand the range of emotions I am going through right now. No one else gets it. Coming out of the test i felt supremely confident, but curiosity got the best of me and i ended up lurking on these forums soon afterwards. Lo and behind the test wasnt as easy as i thought and I identified a bunch of questions (27 to be exact) that i got wrong. The worst part is that it was out of a sample of 40 or so discussed. FML!!! I feel like turd right now and have this nauseating band 6-7 feeling in my stomach. Its even worse because I always felt that if i apply myself fully to something I will never fail at it. The thing i dread the most is that everybody at work, from the CEO, to the Board of Directors, to my best clients (Financial services industry), friends and family know about this test and have been egging me on. I feel like I will let everybody down, most of all my parents and end up damaging the bullet proof confidence I had built up in my abilities over the years. I know its just a test and I know i can take it again next year. But its also very personal because i spent 6 months of my time studying for this only to end up with a slightly damaged reputation and dented self-belief. Hopefully i can build myself up after this but it will take time. Sorry, i had to get this brutally honest thought off my chest.
^ dont lose hope pal…nobody knows what the correct answers to those 40 discussed qns were…whatever happened here on AF was like a fish market with everyone claiming their own answers were right…in most cases even the exact questions were forgotten, and you can never be sure if cfai had put in a few of their tricks inside…the only thing that is 100% right as far as we are concerned, is the results email today, and that’s what you should be waiting for…atb

I was ashamed of myself… but life goes on and I know that if I pass tomorrow after working twice as hard for it, not only will all be forgiven but I’ll have built a new reputation for myself as a fighter
I am so nervous at this moment. I predict a fail but still desperately want to see a PASS in my email today. God, pls bless us.
The hour of our reckoning is soon upon us. Good luck all and may the ghost of serenity bless you with a visit if the outcome is not favorable.

Thank you for being honest because I echo a lot of these emotions -helps me know that i am not the only one who places so much importance on an exam . All the best for the result today
