What the number says

  • Half of Part II candidates passed in November 2025, even though all of them had already passed Part I or sat it in the same window.
  • A candidate who fails or misses Part I in a window where they also sat Part II does not have Part II graded.
  • Your own odds depend on your weakest topic area, which a pass rate cannot show.

Measure your own readiness instead

  • Take the free diagnostic: 12 questions, 2 from each topic area, scored by area.
  • Fix the weakest area with its lesson, then try four fresh questions on it.
  • Sit a full 80-question mock in four hours before your window.

Question 1Backtesting VaR
A bank's VaR model had 3 exceptions over the last 250 days, which is in the green zone (0 to 4 exceptions, multiplier 3; the yellow zone starts at 5 exceptions with a plus factor of 0.40). Yesterday's 10-day 99% VaR is $9.5 million and the 60-day average is $7.0 million. Capital is the larger of yesterday's VaR and the multiplier times the 60-day average. Capital is closest to:
