There is no fixed passing marks or percentage that the candidate needs to secure to pass the CFA exam. They need to meet the minimum passing score (MPS) which is decided by the CFA institute and is very discreet. The MPS can vary from one exam window to another. While the exact MPS remains confidential until results are released, historical data and analyst estimates show that the MPS usually remains between 65% to 70%.
