    CFA Level 1 Results Nov 2025: Minimum Passing Score

    To be able to get the pass rating in the CFA Level 1 result, candidates must be able to score above the Minimum Passing Score (MPS). There are no fixed CFA minimum passing marks as it varies from one session to another. The CFA institute never announces the CFA Level 1 MPS publicly. However, experts suggest that candidates must always aim at 70% or more marks to clear the MPS of the CFA Level 1 exam. On an average the CFA Level 1 MPS stays close to 70% marks in the exam. The CFA Institute also does not give numerical value to the score of candidates.

    CFA Level 1 Result: Analysing Exam Performance

    Along with declaring the CFA result, the CFA Institute also helps the candidates get a complete picture of their performance in the CFA exam. Given below are a few elements in the result analysis.

    • Candidate’s Score: If a candidate scores above the MPS then they are considered to have passed the exam. If a candidate scores below MPS then they are considered to have failed.

    • True Ability: The CFA Institute tries to ensure that the CFA level 1 result portrays a candidate’s true ability by accounting for all the positive as well as negative factors that may have affected the CFA result.

    • Confidence Interval: The CFA level 1 results are declared with a 90% confidence interval. A score well above the MPS or well below the MPS indicates a higher confidence interval as the candidate would have passed or failed under most circumstances. A candidate who passed with a score very close to the MPS would have to work harder to improve their score as well as the confidence interval of their score

    • Percentile Rank: The CFA results also indicate the level of the top 10 percentile and the bottom 10 percentile.

    • Topic Wise Performance: Candidates also get to know their performance in each of the topic areas through the CFA level 1 result. Similar to the aggregate score, the confidence interval in topic wise results would be higher in case of considerably higher scores (above 70%)

    CFA Level 1 Pass Percentage

    Along with the CFA Level 1 result, the CFA Institute also released the CFA Level 1 Nov 2025 pass percentage. The CFA level 1 pass percentage Nov 2025 is yet to be announced.
