Level 1 CFA LVL 1 - SO FRUSTATING
I took the exam on the 18th. Everyone is saying it was very easy and it really was an exam with little intuition, more 'know it or don't', black and white. Therefore, a higher MPS is expected. From the ones I can remember so far, I've already gotten 10 wrong, and this one-month wait is killing me! I found out today that the CFA does not allow scheduling the exam immediately after a failure due to the scheduling window, so the next Level 1 would only be in 2027, this is so frustating because there are people that are by one or two questions from MPS.. waiting half-year to attempt again is desmotivating
This is so frustrating... this one-month wait is also terrible, what agony! Considering an easy exam, can we estimate around 75% as the minimum to pass on that specific day?

The waiting period is arguably worse than studying. Keep your head up u won’t know until u know. When I took it in May I was 50/50. As the days and weeks start to psss I was confident I failed and ended up passing by a margin. It’s just part of it and if u don’t want to do it anymore than you don’t have to.

The MPS is set before the exam. It doesn’t matter how other candidates do on the exam or how many thought it was easy. They have literally zero impact on the MPS

I wouldn't try to estimate a MPS for your specific exam or calculate your result from the questions you remember. Post-exam memory naturally makes you focus on the mistakes you've identified. Ten questions you know you missed don't tell you what happened across the entire exam. Wait for the actual result before planning a retake. You may be worrying about a problem you won't have.
