I was wondering, since this is the first year in which CFAI is giving us our percentile on the exam relative to all other candidates in the world: 1. Can we conclude that the exam is now becoming more competitive, as the matter is not simply a Pass of Did not pass anymore? 2. Will having your score above the 90th percentile bring tangible benefits to your career? (assuming you're in an industry which respects, recognizes and maybe even requires the CFA designation) |

There are new performance exhibits on the actual exam that include a 90th percentile line, and a 10th percentile line. Since I passed level 3 in June 2017 and didn't get this kind of summary, it is safe to say this started with the Dec 2017 Level 1 exam. There is a summary of the current method with sample charts on the CFAI site called Understanding Your Exam Result. |

I guess it's good to the extent that your probability of passing was high, but if anyone mentioned or advertised this achievement, I'd regard them as a huge douche. |
