So I was reading through the pass rates of previous level 1 exams on the CFA website and picked up something very interesting...

2003 Jun - 49%, Dec - 40%
2004 Jun - 40%, Dec - 36%
2005 Jun - 48%, Dec - 34%
2006 Jun - 52%, Dec - 39%
2007 Jun - 42%, Dec - 39%
2008 Jun - 42%, Dec - 35%
2009 Jun - 45%, Dec - 34%

Very curious to why the pass rate for the December exams are consistently lower than the pass rate for the June exam. Any opinions to why there is always a drop in Dec?

perhaps a lot of first time writers in December?
Who then hit it again in June and then pass?
