Passed!!! I am on vacation, mountain biking in the Alps so I can’t post results (copy not working on phone) but I smoked it! To anyone who failed- don’t give up. It took me three tries- two band 8 fails to get a pass. Now, back To the trail!!!
First i see your damn house overlooking the Eiffel Tower, then i see you passed, then i see your mountain biking in the fkng alps. Can we trade lives? Seriously?
Failed Band 4… I felt like I did well on the AM but my results prove otherwise. How do you know if you put answers in the wrong place? Half of my AM results look like I may have, but I don’t remember - I was all over the place in the AM and I almost hope I did put my answers in the wrong place. Will they tell you if you call them? I’m really not sure how I scored a band 4. markCFAIL Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > If you didn’t write on the lined paper, and wrote > under the questions, they didn’t grade it.

Yeah !!! I passed … I thought it was the end for me when I did AM. I even cursed to myself so much I bet my neighbours and proctors thought this guy’s lost it. I’m located at a prison in SEA. Let me get my scotch now. Tomorrow I gotta start thinking how to get a job. Will stick around here for a little longer. Congratz to those who passed!!! Cheers!!!

Failed band 7. I felt more confident on am part. Thought would see me through. 
But I predicted the pass rate pretty exactly!
Wow that would be unreal. I just followed the test intuitively and answererd the questions labeling each of them. Or was there just paper that had free space but wouldnt be graded at all? Was excpecting a pass for my second try at L2 and now my AM Session is Zero points. wow makes me lose faith in CFAI actually. markCFAIL Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > If you didn’t write on the lined paper, and wrote > under the questions, they didn’t grade it.

I will say for all those looking at this for next year. I found this exam extremely difficult compared to study materials. I am fairly sure I over pressured myself being that I had overstudied and really didn’t want to fail and do III again next year. I did however really think the difficulty was there this year and if someone decides to make a spreadsheet of 40/60/80, I am thinking low 60’s was MPS.
I failed with a Band 6 - with scores all over the place, and not enough of a push from the PM to help me to a pass. See all the survivors for one more term.
Barely. I thought the AM was a lot easier than what it ended up being, and I thought I struggled a bit more with the PM session. Also looking at the matrices of other candidates it appears that there is a TON of overlap amongst our AM scores. For example nearly everyone nailed Econ, but struggled in PM/Indiv #2 and Asset All.

Agree about the exam being harder than the curriculum!!!
Pass!
what is econ all about in L3?
Passsed! Finally! Goodbye Analyst Forum, and thanks for all the help!
Is there anything we can do if we wrote in the wrong area. I scored less than 50 on all questions in the AM which is crazy because my buddy i took the test with had the same answers and he scored much better. i wrote most of my answers under the questions! markCFAIL Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Failed band 5 (half of my test was not graded > because i wrote in the wrong area).
