    I just got my score report and got a 73 on FAR :(. it said i was comparable in everything except weaker in Gov. which is weird becuase i thought I had that down pat (NFP was comparable) but then it said MCQ’s and Sims were weaker. This is why I believe the exams are curved how does one get the marjority of the exam as comparable but still receive a weaker score.

    I plan on re-taking mid-jan I just hope that its enough time and i’m not rushing myself.

    REG - 63,74,70,81!!!
    FAR - 44,73, 81!!!!
    AUD - 51,81!
    BEC - 73,77!!

    3 years later and I'm officially done. Never give up no matter what!

    I had a score report similar to yours when I failed FAR with a 72 back in February. In my experience, I thought I had a handle on most of the material, but on exam day found that I didn't understand a few topics quite as well as I thought I did. Some of those transactions can be a bit tricky – for example, there are a number of scenarios for bond transactions. If you don't know each of the nuances, you can miss the details on exam day.

    As far as comparable/weaker – I'm not sure. You may have been weaker in the MCQs overall by only a small amount, but they never tell you how much you missed the SIMs by. You may have been weaker by a little bit, or by a lot. And at 40% of your score, that might have been enough to drop you (and me) below the 75 mark.

    My advice is to take the score report and use it as a fire starter. That's all they are good for. They are practically useless and don't really give you any relevant information
