If you are reading this article, it probably means that you are going to be giving your CFA level 3 exams soon. Congratulations, firstly on making it till here and hopefully you will make it to the CFA charter. It’s a good start. Let’s look at the number of CFA level 3 exam takers and the pass rates.
The number of candidates decreases drastically for CFA level 3 exams. That is mainly due to the difficulty of the exam. And only the candidates who have cleared the level 2 can appear for the level 3 exams. This limitation restricts candidates and thus it has a low student enrol in. But as you can see from the graph, the number of students taking up the CFA level 3 exams has only increased. It is following an upward trend indicating that more students are being able to clear the Level 2 exams. Last year’s number of 26,882 candidates is an excellent one.
The CFA level 3 pass rates have shown an upward trend too, showing an average of 50% i.e. almost half the candidates taking the exams clear it. 2014 has shown a pass rate of 54% which shows that there is scope for a higher pass rate. Looking at the trends followed in the past 5 years clearly depict that the pass rate is increasing every year. 2013 dwindled a little and fell to 49% but apart from that the pass rate has been constant or increasing.
