thanks for the insight. However, I doubt the historical pass-rate applies to AF’ers. I think it’s safe to say that the active AF community passes at a higher rate than the rest. In no way am I predicting a pass, or a fail for me. I won’t be surprised either way.
there were a lot of traps buddy. not just a few as you are implying. good luck nonetheless.

CFAFRMMBA, that’s a score of 71%…
rahul roy: I-will-pass:wow thats pretty close to a fail, mate. think about it - if you fell for some of the tough traps that we have been identifying, you are done!
btw thats not what I thought of your performance when I read about your 98% confidence of passing and the 2% chance of failing and retaking (not sure I got your numbers straight, but not too sure you did either).
Best

83/120 or 95/120 is a very conservative estimation.
In 95/120 ,i thought 25 questions will be wrong “IF” i fell for traps.
Assuming 12 guesses and half guesses that i made during the exam to be wrong…my score becomes 83/120.
In either case…I am getting =>70%…which is a 98% pass.(if mps IS ABOVE 70% probablity of me failing becomes 2%)
there were a lot of traps buddy. not just a few as you are implying. good luck nonetheless.
How many traps were there???
I have assumed 45 traps.(Although i got the answer for most of them except 2 or 3 questions)
I am being modest here but the paper was very easy,
Any one with IQ of 100 should pass this exam provided they have put in sufficient time.
If i fail this exam i will not take CFAI exams again.
Best of luck to you.
“I will pass” does not = “You will pass” (Pun intended)
