I passed with a 61%. Obviously, the rule is not perfect and it was probably closer to 65% or 66%, but geesh. Does anyone know if the CFAI has a "system" that gives strong preference to those who did well on Ethics? My Ethics section was really strong (may have gotten 80-90%).

BTW, these were my scores:

Level 1: Pass

I truly didn't do well at all. And yet I still got a Pass.
