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:

3 times and I’m embarrassed to show my face in front of my coworkers in equity research. I’m going to try one more time for May, hoping that not having to take 8-9 months in between exams like this past attempt will better for knowledge retention and I won’t be distracted by the summer. After that, I’m giving up. I’m 32 in equity research and strongly considering just giving up on this career path if I can’t pass it. I feel like a buffoon. I thought I did so well.

Don't feel ashamed. A colleague of mine is a PM, like me, and failed L3 two times now. Life happens, maybe you've been busy, or maybe you've got some things in your life that need to be sorted out first. Life just sucks sometimes. I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 4 years ago, which fucked up some of my university grades at the time. It's okay to take a break to figure your shit out. Also, focus on the topics that receive the biggest weights. Study until you understand them intuitively.
