I am in the exact same situation Firebug, I was on my third attempt of Level 2 and I think I was more disappointed that I passed! I was getting excited about actually having a spring.
But now I'm happy about it... whew!

Less borderline than me. I had 4 sections >70%, 3 sections between 50-70 and 3 sections <50% including the important one... I think I must have got the >70% sections pretty close to 100%...
Don't know how much detail we're allowed to disclose here so I'm not saying which ones... but looking at my detailed results, I have no idea how I managed to pass. No idea at all.

Pretty much the exact same as my spread, only move one above 70 to the 50-70 category. I ended up band 8 though...

^ Totally not fair. If i can make an assumption, based on your avatar and user name, I'm guessing you were born with +3 to math skills.
Just kidding, congrats on the pass.

It's that time of year again. Anyone else writing this year?
First attempt at level II for me this year. At this point I'm completely clueless as to how I'll do as my mock exams are all over the damn place (65% to 82%).

My wife is deep into this as well and is finding the exact same thing about the mock exams. I am convinced that the CFA institute is just a bunch of jerks.

Writing level 1... and coming to the realization that I am not very prepared for this exam. 
It's such a huge volume of material cram in and I'm not remembering as much from my university courses as I would've liked.
Good luck to all others writing!

Level 2 for the second time. I've had the week off work to study, so that's been a bonus.
The exam sure is challenging to prep for when you have a full time job...
