What's the overall CFA level pass rate? (Total and for individual sessions) I was told it is somewhere around 70% for all subjects. Is that true? How much should I be aiming for during study sessions to achieve this? I have 4-5 months left to study and do review questions while working. Any suggestions/ strategies I should use here? (e.g. completely take off derivatives or something that only account for 5% of the syllubus) |

I think you would need around more than 70% questions correct for each section. |

You probably need 70% overall, but not necessarily in every section. |
