Yep jwn566, you are right. This is the mega-obsessed crowd who put a very high value and a correspondingly very high effort into this exam. Unfortunately I wasn’t one of them because I don’t have time with work and family to devote more than 5-6hrs a week to studying but rest assured that I know more than a few people who prepare far less than the vast majority on this forum because they don’t reprioritize their entire life around this test. I spoke with a few people who told me they’d be surprised if they passed it this time around.
I feel like I’m becoming a morbid person liking the stories of the failures of others. It’s like the worst other people do, the better and more reassured I feel that I passed.
 
Maybe there’s some bias on this forum but I am a retaker who has actively used the forums for the last three years with nothing to show for it so far except a coupld of Band 9 Fail sheets. I feel like I did better this year so I’m expecting a Band 10 fail this time as it seems the CFAI may like to drive the knife into my ribs a little deeper.
 
I don’t know why everyone is so confident. The exam definitely seemed easier than the CFA mock but the margin for error is really small. If one gets 80/120 or 66% they might get through, but at 76/120 you could easily fail. That is only 4 questions. I thought the exam was easier than I expected, but I could see myself either passing or getting a very low band.
There were definitely some questions in there to make sure people couldn’t get 6/6 in any section unless they were really really prepared.

CFA June Test Takers Fall First Time Since 2005

Enrollment for the Chartered Financial Analyst exam in June fell for the first time in eight years as Wall Street employment tumbles.
The number of candidates registered to take the June CFA exam, administered worldwide today, dropped 2.2 percent to 146,605 from a year earlier, Charlottesville, Virginia-based CFA Institute said in a May 29 statement. The number of June CFA hopefuls had increased annually since 2005 and reached a record 149,954 candidates last year.

I think it’ll be around the 65% mark….
That said, I’ve spoken to quite a few people on my office who thought the exam was really difficult. That should bring the pass mark down slightly..
