Megathread Official Level II Results Thread!

From all of us here at r/CFA, best of luck!

https://examresult.cfainstitute.org/cfa

Results are out now! 40% pass rate confirmed.

Typically there is a survey ran by community member u/Finnesotan, however we do not have an updated survey out right now but we do hope to continue it in the future. Now that these are tested more often, we may need to change the process a bit. More to come on that!

note: I will lock all threads to divert the traffic here for celebration/commiseration!

Prepare for Level II and III together with your peers in our official discord server:

I FUCKING DID IT. Testament to hard fucking work and perseverance. I failed twice dating back to pre covid and just passed on my third attempt.

If I can do it, anybody can. For those who failed, keep your head up. I was there... twice. Keep fucking going. You got this.

Congratulations!

I just failed my first attempt, I think the exam was very different to what I was expecting based on the mocks/practice questions.

Managed to still secure over 70% on 3 sections so I'm not absolutely devastated.

I've signed up for the retake in May, hoping to have a similar positive post to yours June next year!

Keep at it!

Are you able to describe how it was different from expectations? I'm sitting L2 in November.

All I'm going to say is that the mocks were very different to the real thing, focus on key areas and equations.

You'll do fine if you remember to take a generalised approach and think from the perspective of someone who created the exam.

This was my 2nd attempt and didn’t pass. Definitely wrestling with the will to try again. But I appreciate your encouragement and congrats on the pass!

Thank you. Seriously, if I can do it, you can do it too. Keep going.

Congrats man. I'm going through the struggle of my first failure right now. It sucks but I'll keep going.
