Yipee! CFA Level 1 - Passed!
Just login - I passed the Level 1. I also scored above 70% for all topics.
In the meantime, I am disappointed that the passing rate was so high. 46% of the Level 1 candidate passed. Dec 2008 passing rate was 35%. The passing rate for the pass few years for level were:
2005 June 36%
2005 Dec 34%
2006 June 40%
2006 Dec 39%
2007 June 40%
2007 Dec 39%
2008 June 35%
So this year's passing rate was extremely high. Is it because of the 3 choices of question (previously 4) or is it because candidates are more prepared?
Whatever is it, if the passing rate is so high, the value of the cfa paper decreases.
