Band 9 Fail. Didn't study enough. I knew it before the test. The lol part is the sections i failed are what i should be strongest at based on my profession.. CPA who audits hedge funds. Not sure if I'll take it again in '13.

Wrote lvl II

I wasn't nervous at all, I came to the conclusion that I ran out of time and was doing horribly at the mock exams (60-64%) and didn't even have time to go back and review anything. I had accepted failure, went into the exam knowing I would fail and often picked a different answer than the one I thought it was because I seemed to always get similar questions wrong in the mocks and what I got was probably the trap answer.

I told everyone I failed and just needed about one more week of solid studying time to have had a good chance so I didn't even want to look at my results, but my mum called me because she googled when the results come in and made me look.

Anyway, I passed despite failing financial reporting and analysis which is like 20% of the exam and something I thought I was decent at. So now I'm that person who tells everyone they failed and then goes and passes. I've become someone who I hate, not sure whether to celebrate or be depressed.


edit: On the plus side, I wrote a lvlIII mock exam by accident and did better on that than on the lvlII mocks, would have passed if I didn't get 0/6 on the one section that was super foreign to me.

If it wasn't multiple choice and you had to write in an answer, what % do people think they would get? I'd probably do alright on ethics- 65% or so, but maybe 15-20% on the rest of the exam, perhaps less.

it's scary to think how badly i would have done if it wasn't multiple choice. though i guess everyone's score would be much worse. i'd probably be around what you wrote above? some sections would have been higher (economics, equity, ethics, fixed income - i work in fixed income) but i'm pretty sure i would have bombed financial reporting.

i passed level 2 btw, very happy.
