You know what sucks....

I will tell you what sucks: 1. You have to wait approximately 3 months to get your results (and ~ 65% of us will fail). 2. If you fail, you have nothing to show for it. At least in college you get 1 credit for a D. 3. Your whole life revolves around the results. Will i get promoted/ a raise if I pass? Should I apply to B school if I pass? Should I start studying for level 3? Shoudl I quit the program if i fail? Please feel free to add on more.

If you’re young like me (24) and you pass, you still have LIII and PM is a b*tch plus there’s at least 2 more years (after LIII) of work to fulfill the work experience requirement until you are a full CFA charterholder…plus my Girlfriend just got a letter from her ex-boyfriend and now she hates me…

Wasnt the pass rate 50% for level II last year?

40% Edit: http://www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/pdf/candidate_results.pdf All data is in the link above.

Hey guys, I need some help. I want to see if the level 1 and level 2 historical pass rates are correlated and what is the relationship between the two. Given that the LI pass rate was 35.0 percent this year, I am curious to see what the expected pass rate for LII is. So you are probably saying “I need historical data”. Here it is: http://www.stalla.com/pdf/cfaprogram/special3/1963-2007%20candidate_results.pdf Now you have no excuses. Once found please post the equation on this thread. I would do it myself, but I actually have work.

someone already posted a statistical report

It is on the level three boards. R^2 was around 62%

what’s the equation

I’d be interested in seeing > exactly what the value is. I just did a very simple regression starting 1993 and the correlation between LI and LII is about 65%. The predicted value for this year’s LII pass rate is 42%. LIII has near zero correlation; however, by shifting the data 4 years, I managed to get a correlation of 0.5. Using that, the predictive value for this year’s LIII pass rate is about 62%. ************************************************** I think this is the thread Slash was talking about.
