Results June 2012: Calculate & post your 40/60/80 results here!

CFA Level II
#21

When reporting your results, would you please include your profession? I figure it would help to understand whether those who work as Financial Analysts (equity or fixed income analysts) are ahead of the pack in terms of pass rates. Actually I think it would help to provide:

  1. which attempt this was 2. how many hones hours you spent studying 3. your profession, i.e. which topic areas you use the most on a daily basis.

Thanks

I think the OP might be interested in what people have studied previously also - e.g. A lot of this material is covered in Aus/NZ and Euro undergraduate courses. First language stats would be interesting also.
