Band 10

Thanks for this thread. I was feeling rather despondent until I saw how close some others’ scores were. Here’s mine:
Band: 10

I actually finished with an hour to spare for both papers, because I breezed through ethics, econ, stats. I hate accounting, but I didn’t expect to fail it and I guess this is a rude wake-up call to learn it properly this time.
I’m going to take a 2-day accounting class next week, but wanted to ask those CAs and accountants out there: What’s the best way to try and understand the basic concepts for Financial Reporting and Analysis? Accounting is like Greek to me.
 
Does it get closer than this…..
Level 1: Fail

Performance band of your overall score among all candidates who failed the exam: 10
Now if I’m doing it right….. the 40/60/80 method. That puts me at a 72%. Kind of feel I got robbed with this score. From what I hear Retabulation is a waist of money.

With this breakdown, you should have passed. The reason why I think you didn’t pass is because your FRA section was probably in the low 50s. I think you need to smoke that FRA section (just like you did Ethics) to pass.
Sorry dude. I wish you the best in December. January 2010, you’ll be in L2 forum & together we’ll crush that L2 in June. Keep your head up.

From what i can tell they just really don’t want to see you not score high on ethics.

Second that! Man i do not see how you could have NOT passed! Seriously!
 
gogiants, if you consider that you may have scored the minimum in every section your score would be AT LEAST 158 points out of 240 or 65%.
The maximum number of points is 214 points or 89%.
Your real score must be somewhere in the middle. I feel for you.
 
and then the arithmetic mean is (65+89)*.5=77
i’ll probably go for retabulation just for a peace of mind

Your Ethics section was probably in the low 50s. There is absolutely no way you would have failed if your Ethics section was close to 70. I’m guessing you barely made into the 50-70 range. You can retabulate if you want though…just to get peace of mind. Plus, you never know, your result might end up changing for the better >>> A PASS!
 
gogiants how did you fail, you must have boomed ethics, that is the only way …
