Sorry man, though I passed I'll retake in December for you so that I might justify my existence.

Clearly people are more determined to work hard in this economy. Moreover, professions typically employing highly intelligent people have seen tremendous layoffs. These people not only have the time, but the intellect and inclination to study thoroughly for the level I exam.

I'm sorry you attended a third tier toilet undergrad and relied solely on your 35% passing performance to give your life meaning. Go troll on GRE boards. I'm sure that's your next stop.

xoxo, hope that helps
 
I worked very hard on the level one material, got to a point where I felt that I had a solid understanding of the material, and was even scoring 90%+ on Schweser mock exams. I find the idea that the exam I passed was somehow less than the one taken a year previous very insulting. Simply because more people passed the exam does not make me any less worthy of writing the next one.
 
Hey it's a 50% chance of passing anyway. Either you pass or you fail. That means that 46% sounds about right.
 
as if employers around the world are sitting there saying " oh my god Jim - did you hear the pass rate for level 1 was 46% ?? - we better stop hiring charterholders - as it's now clearly a designation for idiots - murderers and executions told me - " - as they giggle and talk about their weekend plans over a latte

relax dude - you're pi$$ing on a lot of people that sacrificed the last 6 months to ace this thing - good for them i say. and congrats to all.

You keep flipping that coin, sport.
 
No comments...But god, I feel horrible I passed. Perhaps I am an idiot..who knows.. or maybe not..
 
HAHAHA well well well, I was wondering how long it was going to take before some idiot started taking a swing at the L1 09 passers, and of course, the ultra mature and incredibly smart American Psycho Patrick Bateman wannabe over here, murders&executions, filled the void nicely.

Let's take a look at his reasoning shall we? This guy is saying that since the pass rate increased by 11% points in one year, that the exam has got so much easier, and that those who passed are undeserving, useless good for nothing idiots?!?!

Let me put on my rose tinted spectacles, for a minute....let's see where are they......ok found them. "In my day, lad, I took the CFA and it was REAL man's exam. When I took it, back in the summer of '69 the pass rate was a mere 74% Can you believe that??!! How low! Not like your easy fancy schmancy exams of 2009, no way mister. In my day, I used to walk to school, 6 miles, in the snow, up hill both ways! Ahhhh those were the days..."

Do you see what I'm trying to say? If we took your attitude and believed that each year the exam got easier, we would go all the way back the 1960s and 70s when the Institute just started and exclude the people who passed the exam because the pass rate was in the 60s and 70s. If you don't believe me, check the website.

Why don't you just stop being so bitter? As other AFers have said in this forum, there are incredible circumstances right now, namely, thousands of laid off candidates who have nothing better to do than to dedicate day and night to passing the exam.

And your ignorance of the scoring system is fascinating! Obviously you do not understand that since the Institute takes the 70% mark from the top 5%, that there means that there is in fact an ABSOLUTE level at which they will start passing people. Do you understand this? Mr. Mergers and Acquisitions specialist?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, you've been remarkably silent for an awful long time. Come on, say something!
 
Please don't read or quote or comment on this, it's just a friendly advice to "buddham".

buddham,
FU I don't care whatever you say and think, so stop bothering about it anymore and grow up.
 
and if someone else is misunderstood with the word "garbage".
The crowd which I referred with "garbage" is "Non-Serious Candidates in any exam, who just try the exam to try their LUCK" because I hate it most in this world when someone gets something just by LUCK and people who work hard suffer because some LUCKY BAST***S got their place, I believe chance of Success on LUCK in any examination should zero or minimal. so I used that word, don't mind it.
 
@charu_mulye : yes, you are probably living abroad but you seem to know about India a lot :) !
