After waiting over 2 months for results, I was pleased to see the results I had been hoping for. Upon completing the exam in June, I felt fairly confident that I had done well, but knew I couldn’t be sure until the results were actually published.
This year’s LII pass rate of 41% represents the lowest pass rate of all 3 levels, so I am happy to have made the cut. Normally LI has the lowest pass rate, but this year LII was the tough one.
After completing the Level I exam, I posted some tips I felt were key to my success. When I began studying for Level II, I kept these tips in mind, and did my best to follow the same strategy. The 5 key points were:
- Start Early
- Have a Plan
- Apply the Knowledge as You Go
- Talk to Other Candidates
- Practice, Practice, Practice
Its good to know that this strategy has worked again, and that my study efforts have paid off. If you are a candidate in the CFA program, see my original post for some tips on CFA success: CFA Level I
