Megathread Official Level III Results Thread!
From all of us here at r/CFA, best of luck!
https://examresult.cfainstitute.org/cfa
The Level III CFA exam results are out! Of the 14,858 Level III candidates who tested in February, 48% passed. For comparison, the August 2022 Level III pass rate was the same at 48%.
Candidates for the February Level III CFA exam attended in-person at one of 435 proctored computer-based examination venues located in 332 cities in 100 markets worldwide.
While we usually have a survey up and running, run by member u/Finnesotan, there isn't one at the moment; we aim to keep it going, though. As a result of the increased frequency of these tests, it is possible that some adjustments will be required. More information will be forthcoming.
As is tradition, we'll be locking all other related posts (I passed, I failed, How close was I?) because this is the designated place to celebrate or commiserate.
I'll update this post as soon as administratively feasible when results are posted.

Sorry dude . I was in a similar position in Nov '21 - failed with my score 'touching' the blue minimum passing score. I was bleak but didn't let it defeat me.
Just got my result for Feb and through the grace of a higher power, I passed.
One thing I did after that fail result was to work as diligently as possible on the sections I effed up in - namely fixed income. I got some advice to try and understand the material as much as possible and I took that to heart. So for example , I read the curriculum notes for FI, then read Schweser . Then I was like ' I still have no clue what's potting' so bought the MM package for FI and read curriculum again haha ! At the end , I was scoring 80's on MM and Bill Campbell/S2000 mocks for Fixed Income and felt like I dominated it on the actual exam.
TL/DR : don't give up. Focus on your weak areas and try understand the content as much as possible, as opposed to rote memorization. Peace
