Ok, it took me some 15 minutes to get all data in the spreadsheet and another 5 to make the calculation but here we go: an analysis from the 'PASSED'-thread on this forum.

How many people score >70% on what subjects???? And, more importantly, how many don't?

1. Alternative / 85% passes
2. Ethics / 76% passes
3. Equity / 84% passes
4. Quant / 71% passes
5. FSA / 61% passes
6. Fixed Income / 63% passes
7. Portf. Management / 57% passes
8. Derivatives / 52% passes
9. Economics / 36%

So I think our first idea after the test about economics was right: it was brutal.

Looking at the above, of course it's nice to see what % failed a subject by scoring less than 50% but STILL passed the exam:

1. Ethics: 0%
2. FSA: 0%
3. Equity: 2%
4. Alternative: 3%
5. Quant: 4%
6. Fixed Income: 8%
7. Derivatives: 12%
8. Port. Man: 13%
9. Economics: 20%

So.... DON'T YOU DARE FAILING ETHICS OR FSA... you'll be sorry.

Hopefully this is useful to some of the L1-ers... I'm promoting to the L2 forum!
 
I'm an Econ major, so I hardly looked at that section, and I GOT CRUSHED on it.

FSA and Ethics are what I focused most of my efforts on and it paid off.
 
I Passed, while failing on three subjects (incl. Equity). I guess I......was borderline.
On the other hand I did really well on Economics.

I defined 'failing' as being <50% because that's a serious down. Between 50/70 could be 65 of 68 which on itself still isn't a problem.
 
Good job mcpass, AF forum should save this and post these type of statistics for each exam as a separate link up top (exam statistics for AF participants).
 
good stuff mcpass. this should be helpful for level 1 people in december.
 
Anybody who wants to collect data and send it to me at joeydvivre at yahoo dot com would be most appreciated.
 
Wow... only 36% >70 on Econ... That's a bit suprising.

For selfish reasons only, I'd love to know how many were >70% on every section... and how many scores have you collected thus far?
 
This was from 124 scores. Haven't calculated the >70% on every section.
 
Awesome assimilation mcpass! I love statistics of this sort. I agree with plyon, collecting >70% on every section would be cool. Probably I'll do it later during the day.
