What Percentile to Pass CFA Level 1

To pass the CFA Level 1 exam, candidates often wonder, "What percentile do I need to pass CFA Level 1?" While the CFA Institute doesn't disclose the exact minimum passing score (MPS), it's widely believed that scoring in the top percentile—typically around 70th or higher—significantly boosts your chances of passing. Understanding the required percentile can guide your study strategy and improve your focus on weaker areas. By aiming to score in the top percentile, you increase your likelihood of success on the CFA Level 1 exam. Consistent practice and thorough understanding of key topics are essential for reaching this benchmark.

Thanks for this information on your channel ! It's very helpful. I've a question too... How much time should we keep to revise before the exam?

Thanks for information
But can we say If someone passed 90th percentile, means he secured 90% marks out of 100%, Is it correct also?
