I got a 7, and after 2 5's, I can't be any happier. At least this exam was easier than the October and December ones.

I also got a 7. I had the confidence going in at the 8/9 level, but I got a tricky draw of questions and a few with weird wordings. But no complaints at all! Glad to have passed

I'm quite surprised that I got a 6 while I was so confident that I'd get a 8/9. Oh well, I suppose there's more work to be done for MFE than expected.

Another 7 here.

FM historically has had a higher pass mark so there's not quite as much "room" for the highest scores. For the previous sitting it was 25 for a 6, 28 for a 7, 31 for an 8, 33 for a 9. Getting a 10 might not have been possible on that sitting, but on other sittings it would ordinarily require a perfect score.

For contrast, the previous sitting of P was 19 for a 6, 21 for a 7, 23 for an 8, 25 for a 9, and 27 for a 10.
