CFA Institute Reports Results for CFA Program Level I Testing in February

NEW YORK, April 12, 2022 /CNW/ -- CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, announces that of 18,992 candidates worldwide who sat for the Level I CFA® Program exam in February, 36 percent have passed. All candidates will be notified of their results today.

Chris Wiese, CFA, Managing Director, Credentialing at CFA Institute, comments:

"Congratulations to all our Level I candidates who received news today of their exam success. Sticking with study plans in the face of pandemic-induced disruption is laudable, and it sends current and future employers a strong signal of commitment."

"With most of our February test center locations proceeding as normal and not disrupted by pandemic-related cancellations, we saw the pass rate move closer to historical averages as we expected it would. We are still dealing with pandemic conditions in some parts of the world, but we are cautiously looking ahead to candidates once again moving through the CFA Program exams at the usual pace and with pass rates at historical norms."

Candidates for the February Level I CFA Program exams attended in person at one of 586 proctored computer-based examination venues located in 360 cities in 101 markets worldwide. Both Level I and Level II exams were offered during the February testing period. CFA Program Level II results will be released to candidates on 19 April.  Global-level pass rate information and historical data can be found at the following link: Exam Results and Pass Rates.
