WTF was the pass score?

I hate that I wasted hundreds of hours on material no longer tested that they used to keep me out again. Fuck the CAS

How to know score for each part ?

Passed with a 6ā€¦ finally FCAS.
4th attempt. Got the link email at 3:12 pm.
Total travel time: 25 years (including a couple of breaks, I canā€™t really blame CAS for it :P)

Sorry to hear for those who didnā€™t pass. Hopefully the redesign works in your favor.

Next stopā€¦ FCIAā€¦

Thatā€™s seriously awesome, congrats!

118

Passed! Really wasnā€™t sure Iā€™d make it but thankful nonetheless.

Gotta say though looking at these fail reports, the CAS really seems to have jacked up the passmark for all the exams nowā€¦

The pass score for exam 9 is probably pretty high. It took me three years to pass it (5, 5, 7). It definitely can be demoralizing.

You guys got this thing, just need to take a breather and get back into it for the next round.

120

I may or may not end up similarly. ACAS now, but currently not taking exams as I donā€™t have immediate time or need.

121

Passed with a 7. Thought it was on the border so everything I was iffy on I must have approached correctly. 2nd attempt. FCAS finally after 12 years!
