How to interpret CFA Level 2 exam results?

Hey everyone,

I just got my CFA Level 2 exam results and I’m feeling a bit lost. I’m not sure how to read them properly or what they mean for my future studies.

Could someone explain:

  1. What do the different sections of the results mean?
  2. How can I tell which areas I need to work on more?
  3. What’s considered a good score in each part?

I really want to improve for next time, but I’m not sure where to start. Any advice from those who’ve been through this before would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for your insights!

As someone who’s been through the CFA Level 2 exam, I can share some insights on interpreting your results. The breakdown you receive is crucial for understanding your performance across different topic areas. Pay close attention to your percentile rankings in each section – these indicate how you fared compared to other candidates. Areas where you scored below the 70th percentile typically need more focus.

A ‘good’ score varies, but aim for consistency across all sections. If you see significant discrepancies, that’s where you should concentrate your efforts. Remember, the CFA Institute doesn’t disclose exact passing scores, so it’s best to strive for improvement across the board.

For your next attempt, create a study plan that emphasizes your weaker areas without neglecting your strengths. Utilize the CFA Institute’s resources and consider joining study groups or forums for additional support. Stay persistent – many successful charterholders didn’t pass on their first try. Keep refining your approach, and you’ll get there!

yo, congrats on tackling lvl 2! it’s a beast. for interpreting results, look at ur percentile rankings - they show where u stand compared to others. focus on areas below 70th percentile. don’t sweat the exact scores, just aim for overall improvement. hit the books hard in weak spots, but keep ur strengths sharp too. u got this!

Hey there, fellow CFA warrior! :blush: I totally get where you’re coming from with those results - they can be a real head-scratcher at first glance, right?

You know, I remember feeling just as puzzled when I got mine. Have you checked out the CFA Institute’s website? They’ve got some pretty nifty breakdowns that might help clear things up a bit.

But here’s what I’m really curious about - which parts of the exam did you find the trickiest? And did any topics surprise you by being easier than you expected? It’s always fascinating to hear how different people experience the exam.

Oh, and don’t stress too much about what’s considered a ‘good’ score. From what I’ve seen, it’s more about consistent improvement across all areas. How do you feel you’ve grown since Level 1?

Anyway, kudos for making it through Level 2 - it’s no walk in the park! Wanna share any study techniques that worked well for you? Always looking to pick up new tips for the next round!

Keep your chin up - you’ve got this! :muscle:
