Lower CFA Pass Rates and Lower Exam Participation...

The August 2023 CFA Exams results showed lower pass rates compared to earlier this year. But the pass rates are not the only issue with the recent CFA exam results.

The exams are a lot more expensive now, maybe not many people want to spend as much given the current cost of living crisis in most countries. Many employers are also not willing to pay for these fees too.

Hello Aj bro I want to ask you about cpa is it easier than CFA ? I need some clarification and why second question in the industry do you see cpa has more value or the CFA honest answer I hope to get answer and thank you bro ❤

In Europe at least, the majority of top Master in Finance, which contrarily to the us, are necessary to break through the financial industry, say that "prepare you for CFA lvl 1 exam" which the content may be the same but by no means you'd be ready to take the test without further education. This might explain partially the decline in passing rate, also once you have the edge of lvl 1 and are in the industry there is little incentive to pass lvl 2-3 as you have better chance to get where you want to be through working you way there instead of holding the CFA. I have a very euro-centric pov, let me know your opinions :)
