CFA Institute Reports Results for CFA Program Level I Testing in November
CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, announces that of 28,170 candidates worldwide who sat for the Level I CFA® Program exam in November, 27 percent have passed. All candidates will be notified of their results today.
Peg Jobst, Managing Director, Credentialing at CFA Institute, comments:
“Congratulations to all candidates receiving news of their Level I exam success today. Many of the November cohort took their exams against a backdrop of one or more exam deferrals earlier in their exam journey, showing a remarkable degree of fortitude in pursuing their studies. As we continue to support the rescheduling of deferred candidates across all three levels of the CFA Program, I’m pleased that many deferred candidates have now sat their exam, with more registered to sit in upcoming exam windows.”
Candidates for the November Level I CFA Program exams attended in person at one of 666 proctored computer-based examination venues located in 358 cities in 102 markets worldwide. CFA Program Level II and Level III results from the November series examinations will be released to candidates on 19 January 2022 and 3 February 2022, respectively. Global-level pass rate information and historical data can be found at the following link: Exam Results and Pass Rates.
CFA Program candidates sitting exams in 2022 will be tested on the new 2022 curriculum, with 42 days of testing offered in the following exam windows:
Level I: February, May, August, November
Level II: February, August, November
Level III: May, August
“Traditionally, the CFA Program curriculum changes every year,” Jobst said. “We froze the curriculum between 2020 and 2021 to allow candidates impacted by pandemic deferrals to continue studying the same content. This was the first and only time we did this. Beginning in 2022, we return to our standard practice of annual revisions. We’re excited to bring this new curriculum to candidates, ensuring they continue to be challenged and tested on the most up-to-date concepts and practices.”
