Who finished the AM session?

CFA Level III

zerobeta - first of all there are 25,000 people approximately that take the L3 exam so do not use what is said and predicted on this board as the gospel - this is a VERY small sample size and in my view is usually never the reality. If you kicked *ss in the PM session you can probably still pass - assume 50% in the AM and 80% in the PM and you have a good shot. I am betting a lot of people didn’t finish at least 1 whole question. 3 questions is maybe 25% of the morning session not 55%. Hang in there…

80% is v hard in PM

Also someone might answer the whole of AM but what matters is the quality of the answers as per CFAI standards. If you did good justice to the qs you answered, you still might have a good chance at passing even when u missed 3 full qs

i think you are wrong. they are looking for specific things. not necesarrily quality of writing. u just gotta have key words and they give you points.

#45

^^ Let me rephrase it. If you dont write the keywords they’re looking for, you’re not getting a full grade.

zerobeta - My friend last year left 3 whole questions blank, but he passed as he aced the afternoon section (all >70, but ethic is at 50-70 range). You still got a chance…

#47

u dont need to ace the afternoon either, score 55 on morning and 70 on afternoon and i believe u have a good chance of passing…
