So I just got my results back and I actually passed this time. Honestly didn't think it was going to happen after bombing it in November and again in February. The regulations section kept killing me — I'd blank out on the specific rule numbers and which acts covered what. My score the second time was a 68 and you need a 70, so I was so close it hurt.
What finally made the difference was switching up my approach about six weeks out. I stopped just re-reading the CFTC's own study materials and started doing timed practice sets instead. Found a solid CFTC practice test that actually mirrors the question style pretty well, and started tracking which topic areas I kept missing. Turns out I was weak on position limits and reporting requirements specifically.
Anyone else prepping right now? Happy to share the study guide I built out and some exam tips that helped me nail the commodity regulations questions. Also curious what scoring breakdowns others have seen — is the 70% cutoff consistent or does it vary by sitting?
