Your score band below shows how your overall score on the exam compares with all other failed candidates. For example, if your reported score band is 1, you scored in approximately the bottom 10% of failed candidates. If your reported score band is 2, your score was within the next band width ranging from approximately the bottom 11% to 20% of failed candidates. If your score band is reported as 10, you scored in the top 10% of all failed candidates. Performance band of your overall score among all candidates who failed the exam: 8

Your minimum score is 51%, your maximum is 79%. You were probably somewhere in the middle in the cuspy low 60s.

Raw score passing grade may be much higher than prior levels and earlier years, could be 65%. Some Band 10 fails damn good on the tables. My own was a Fail Band 8 due to poor time management/overthinking/suboptimal focus on essay, thus <50 was really 0 on too many skipped essays for me. Band 8 is damn close. Worth another try.

Performance band of your overall score among all candidates who failed the exam: 8 I saw a guy passed with all most the same score as mine, except for AM Economics is 50-70, and AM asset allocation is above 70. that explains the diffference, one is pass, mine is a painful and shameful fail. My last year is failing band 7. crushed almost all in AM. this year my score is so much betterm but still only 1 band improved, so frustrated.

my avg score is 57% AM, 68|% PM, 62.7% total. compared to a 76% fail mine is less ugliy…

  1. wondering if a unique scoring criteria was applied globally… 2. since many candidates did poorly in AM Q2, what is the average? cannot understand many were below average.
