When Will My CFA Results Be Released?

Want to pass the CFA exam? Start preparing the right way.

Although the CFA Institute announces most of the relevant dates on the CFA Program calendar right at the start, a pretty significant date is usually missing until the last minute – the CFA results date.

So just like previous years, we’ve predicted the CFA exam results dates for you in advance.

That said, the past year isn’t a normal year by any means, here’s our best estimate nevertheless.


When will my CFA results be released?

Knowing the CFA results date might be able to help candidates relax more post-exam, as you don’t have to bring your mind back to the CFA results day as often.

For computer-based (CBT) exams, CFA Institute’s currently provides a results announcement guidance of 5-8 weeks after an exam window closes, depending on level.

Thus, we have used recent CBT historical patterns and exam cycles in our predictions. So here are the latest CFA results dates for upcoming exams.

  • Aug 2024 results announcement (verified by CFA Institute):
    • CFA Level 1: 8 October 2024
    • CFA Level 2: 10 October 2024
    • CFA Level 3: 17 October 2024

How we predict the CFA exam results dates

The table below shows the past dates of CFA exam days and subsequently announced results days.

We’ve also added in our latest predicted exam results dates. (Tip: You can view all these dates and future upcoming dates by syncing to our CFA exam calendar.)

* are estimated CFA results dates.


Predicting based on a consistent results day pattern

After the first few exam windows of computer-based exams, we are starting to see some pattern in results announcement.

However, there still isn’t a consistent day of announcement since then, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being the most popular days of the week for CFA results announcements.

Based on these, we have predicted the 2024 CFA exam results day with the following assumptions:

– Results are typically announced on Tuesdays or Thursdays
– CFA Level 1 and Level 2 results are usually circa 5-7 weeks after last exam day of an exam window.
– Level 3 results are circa 7-8 weeks after last exam day of an exam window
– Recent historical trends has a greater weight in our estimates and seasonality is taken into account.

Hopefully as computer-based exams become a norm, we should have more data to be able to understand if there’s a reliable new pattern for CBT results announcement.

    • Oh yes, we just received the same update and glad that our estimates were 1-2 days off. Thanks Emily! :)

  • Hi! Big fan over here, been following you since I took FRM part I in 2020. I plan to sit CFA L3 this August and the early bird promo ends just before the application to the access scholarship opens (I think January 23rd). My question is, if I apply for the access scholarship in this window, will I still be able to pay the early bird fee for Aug 24th? I guess so, since it's the only window the people who passed L2 Nov 2023 can apply to. Thanks!

  • Hi everyone,

    I received an email from CFA Institute mentioning that my CFA Level I Nov 2023 exam results will be emailed to me on Jan 10th, 9 am ET.
