　　CFA评分标准
　　考试成绩分为"Pass"或者"Fail";
　　CFA一级、二级成绩一般在考试结束后60天内公布，CFA三级成绩在考试结束后的90天内公布;
　　评分体系: CFA考试中会对各个科目单独评分，每个科目的成绩分为三档:<=50%、51%-70%、>70%.CFA协会会把考生各个科目成绩汇总做加权平均，从而评判考生是否能通过考试;
　　CFA协会官方尚没公布具体的通过标准，以下标准为根据历年考生的实际通过情况进行估算的：考生正确的答案数量>=全球成绩排名前1%的考生的平均正确答案数量的70%。
　　例如：试题总量为240题，全球成绩排名前1%的考生的平均正确答案数量为220题，那么考生必须答对220*70%=154题才可通过本次考试。
　　Ethics部分的影响：如果考生成绩在及格线边缘，那Ethics的成绩会对考生是否通过考试产生重要影响，如果考生Ethics的成绩很好的话，跟那些同等分数的考生相比会有更多的机会通过考试，所以考生应该更加重视这部分内容。
　　CFA考生只要完成三个阶段的6-hourCFA考试，持有学士学位或累积至少四年投资决策相关经验，以及遵守CFA的道德标准守则(Code of Ethics and Standards)，这样便可以得到特许财务分析师(CFA)资格。 报考CFA考试。无论考生在大学所修读的是与CFA内容相关的学系、学位、资历或专业经验，考取CFA都不会获得任何豁免。
