Pretty sure the 2 boxes vs. 1 box was a tell

Appreciate it. Honestly…I didn’t study that much (way less than 300) but felt very positive about it on exam day. Got killed on AM with several <50s. Pretty good on PM but didn’t kill it.
My official excuse is that I’m blaming it on having a kid last October which really did keep me from putting in hours! True story…but I still should’ve passed.

Sorry to hear you didn’t pass. It’s a real challenge studying for the CFA with kids. It took me three attempts to clear Level 2 with two young children. Hard to put in good quality study hours when they are so young.

Sorry it was in your case TH, you’re one of my favorite AFers. Kill it next year!
 
Passed with 2 boxes. It was definitely a tell. There is significant evidence of it being so. I bet there will be trolls saying they passed with 1 box but I won’t believe it after seeing all the proof.
Well done CFAbeatmeup. They doubted you but you had em all along.
 
Really hoping they don’t fix this so next year I can find out early.
 
Passed with 2 boxes. The two box theory was indeed a sure tell. No one with 2 boxes has reported fail

To be fair, I wasn’t the one who initially noticed this. I was just the one who followed the scientific process of collecting data and attempting to form a hypothesis. Ironically, it was the CFA L2 that helped here. Additionally, I know it’s hard to do a bunch of stuff behind the scenes of a website, treating two groups of people differently, and not have the client-facing portion not reflect anything.
I bet deep down the CFAI was like “well played AFers and the CFA class of 2016, well played.” Shoot, if we can Mosiac theory this we should form a hedge fund! : )

I can’t believe that you failed….but its Ok…rise and fight again…you will definitely win next time…
 
Whether it was or not, I thought the behavior of those with 2 boxes harassing 1 boxers to ask them how they felt they did or their mock scores was pretty beat. Like, you’re on the “good” side already… leave the poor people alone.
Messed up, but whatever.

Ohh man TopperH, I like you man, we were together last year… I cry for you.. Gather yourself and kill it next year… I passed this year… Did pretty well in both sessions…
 
So many that were sure of a pass failed, while so many others who were leaning toward a fail (myself included), passed.
