            Also still waiting for Level 2. I’m feeling disheartened because of that old rumor (true or not) that the longer it takes, the more likely it is you failed.

              @justinturner‌ got my results…failed Level 2. Can’t say I’m too surprised. I didn’t get Level 1 results until 1/28 so I only had four months and probably only got 250 hour of studying between all the weddings and overtime. Taking time off to study wasn’t an option because I have to hide from my job that I’m taking the exam so they don’t fire me (long story). My weak areas were quant, Econ and PM. Scored less than 50 in those three, which makes sense because I didn’t put enough study time into Quant or Econ. My attitude right now is that I know with a full year to study I’ll be able to put in adequate time and get a pass. I know what I’m up against, and I have a solid foundation in the bigger areas like equity and financial reporting. I’ll go back and put in more time next year and get the pass.

              Sorry to hear 🙁  I put in 350 hours of study, that extra 100 hours made a big difference I am sure, and I probably raised my mark by around 10% during that last 100 hours (which i did in the last 7 or 8 days leading up to the test).  After 250 I was a lot less prepared.

                Dubinka Passed.. Dubinka is happy 🙂 only 2 areas 50-70 all the rest 70+ Yey!

                Just an advice to ones who failed.. Friends I was in your boat year ago.. You haven’t failed until you accept failure so do it one more time..

                @microeconomist i second that! i found that i actually did better when i studied less! rather than burning myself out with 20-30 hour weeks, i would aim for 8-12 and found myself more productive, less stressed, and able to retain more.

                and of of course, 95% of those 8-12 hours came from the weekend.

                      Goodluck! Frustrating when it takes this long.  I assume that rumour is not true, but i have no proof it isn’t…either way goodluck

                        nevermind just got it…and i’m pretty sure that proves the “late email = fail” myth because I passed and didn’t get my email until 2 hours after 9am!
                        What a relief! Congrats to all who passed and I feel your pain if you were not succesful this time around!

                          Apparently they are saving the best for last… or that is what i keep telling myself every time I check and still haven’t gotten my results. This is killer waiting!

                          You are checking the junk mail right?  Seems extreme to not have received by now.  Also, for whatever it is worth I only received the email on my blackberry about 30 minutes after it arrived in my actual email inbox, so you might want to keep track of your inbox/junkmail instead of cellphone since there could be a delay with that as well.

                                      The more I look at my score breakdown, the more I don’t understand how I passed lol. I had 4 below 50%, 2 between 51-70%, and 4 above 70%

                                      That’s a pretty interesting std deviation there matey, but I’d take it as a pass when I finally get to your stage (with plenty of bumps along the road between here and there I’m sure).

                                      Out of interest. I saw the following online and wondered if the weights published are still approximately equal to this?

                                          Anyone get the official pass/fail stats? CFAI’s website isn’t loading for me, I wonder if their site is busy today 😉

                                            This is painful, a colleague taking level 1 received their email 32 minutes ago, and when I took level 1 I also received it quite early, but now at level 2 it has been almost an hour since the email was sent out and no email.

                                            I haven’t heard anything yet regarding my Level 2 results either.

                                                I agree it’s not a linear curve in terms of being prepared and the number of hours. Hang in there, @Rhino6187, I’m sure you’ll get it next time.

                                                That’s a pretty low max score right there.  But I passed, I’ll take it.

                                                My understanding is that there are no style points…

                                                  I filled out the level II questionnaire, and it wasn’t even remotely close to how I had calculated my score in my own spreadsheet. Were things weighted correctly?

                                                  Hi @prost‌ 

                                                  Yes, it should be. We also take into account the fact that the lowest and highest scores won’t always be at 50%, 51%, 70% and 71% respectively (depending on the number of questions in each category) so perhaps that’s the source of the difference.

                                                  For example, for a subject with 18 points allocated (such as Alt Investments for this year), the minimum and maximum for the 51%-70% band is both 67%, which is 4 questions out of 6 right (i.e. 12 points out of 18). There are no other possibilities that fit.

                                                  Im still waiting for mine guys – I know it sounds silly but someone once mentioned that if you’ve passed you should get your results within the hour and the later you get your results the more likely you’ve failed. I brushed it off as nonsense before but as you can see when the jitters kick in things like this play on your mind. Is there any truth in the above and has anyone got their level 2 results yet?
                                                  In case you haven’t noticed I am stressing the hell out lol.

                                                        @justinturner‌ got my results…failed Level 2. Can’t say I’m too surprised. I didn’t get Level 1 results until 1/28 so I only had four months and probably only got 250 hour of studying between all the weddings and overtime. Taking time off to study wasn’t an option because I have to hide from my job that I’m taking the exam so they don’t fire me (long story). My weak areas were quant, Econ and PM. Scored less than 50 in those three, which makes sense because I didn’t put enough study time into Quant or Econ. My attitude right now is that I know with a full year to study I’ll be able to put in adequate time and get a pass. I know what I’m up against, and I have a solid foundation in the bigger areas like equity and financial reporting. I’ll go back and put in more time next year and get the pass.

                                                                                  This was my second try at L2. My weakest topics became my strongest topics this time. Give it your all. Don’t give up if you don’t make it first time around.

                                                                                    When I found out I passed Level 1 at the end of January, I figured I’d give Level 2 the old college try in June so that I wouldn’t have to wait so long between exams and risk losing the knowledge I’d learned, and I figured there was some chance I’d pass. I don’t consider it a waste at all though. Now I know what I’m dealing with. Also, I’m now going into Level 2 with 11 months to study and a solid foundation in much of the Level 2 curriculum because I did learn much of it this time around.

                                                                                    I registered for the June 2015 Level 2 exam the next morning as soon as the website opened back up. I’m coming back reloaded, with adequate time to prepare and study this time around. I won’t be trying to rush through everything in 200 hours and then take three practice exams. I’ll have plenty of time to actually read all the material instead of skimming and skipping. I’m looking forward producing to a solid pass next June. I actually do find most of the Level 2 curriculum (except quant) interesting, and I believe it will be beneficial to my career to take time to understand it better instead of squeaking out a borderline pass, which would have been my best scenario this time with four months to study.
