CFA Passing Score: MPS Estimates To Help Your Prep

CFA Passing Score: MPS Estimates To Help Your Prep

Zee Tan • CFA • Exam Day & Results

CFA Institute does not release the passing score candidates need to beat to pass their exams. Having the MPS can be helpful, as it gives candidates a target for their mock exams, and gives them an idea of how well they're doing. Which is why we have been estimating the Minimum Passing score for more than 12 years now.
