During the exam I thought Ethics was a piece of cake. I was incredibly shocked to see my Ethics score come in at a <50%. Did anyone else think the section was fairly easy only to bomb it as well??
I didn’t bombed thought for sure that I would get 70%+, but ended up in the middle. Kind of surprised, but a pass is a pass
same here…thought for sure i was 9/12 on ethics…and then got the results < 50. Band 10 fail…ethics was the reason. wicked pissa
Sorry to see you failed Chuck.
<50 for me, too.
i thought it was really hard and wasnt sure on over half the answers but got >70 :-/

I think I ended up with ~150 hours of studying, definitely not optimal for L2. I know that 365 days from now I will be moving on to L3. Congrats on the pass! Now for the GMAT…
GMAt was really easy compared to CFA
I need to go retake the GMAT(already have my MBA, but it seems people ask for this score). I didn’t break 600 on first try 8 years ago. I got a 51-70% on Ethics. I thought it was easy until I came here to read the answers and realized i got a couple wrong.
<50 on ethics… but still passed, thankfully.
bombs away for me on ethics as well
I thought I was for sure <50% due to what people were saying on this board. Ended up 50-70%. It just seemed that the questions were really ‘on the fence’ type questions that could go either way. They shouldn’t leave it up to our interpretation on what something like ‘modest’ means in a certain context.
I bombed ethics and I am sure it was because I interpreted stuff more strictly than required…
It was very common yesterday. Lots of people failed it. It was a really nasty section.

>70 aced it.
count me in… I failed L2 because of it…
I expected 50-70 but bombed it, too! :-/
I failed ethics miserably less than 50% but I knew that going in I would have trouble as I did poorly on the practice tests on that section. Nonetheless, I killed the rest of the test have >70% in every other section.
> 70: Ethics, Corporate, Derivatives, PM, and Quant 51 - 70: Equity, Econ <= 50: FRA, FI, Alternative investments Fail band: 6 I seem to have done well in 5 out of 10 topics, but I clearly got shelled on a few big ones. I think FRA and Equity were the primary deal breakers for me this time. I’ll go to the John A. Harris workshop and retake in 2011.
