I just called into the CFP Board and was told by the representative that I spoke with that the results are preliminary and "even though it is unlikely that they will change, there is still a chance." I went on to clarify with the representative and she said that the CFP board is doing a quality check of the results, which is different than what my very initial understanding was of how the grading would take place (I understood that there would be no preliminary results and that the CFP Board would set a "standard" pass/fail once all exams had been completed and reviewed). I guess it doesn't make much of a difference as to what I understood and what is actually taking place, because only the latter is what matters!
My prometric results showed that I failed, with the tax section being the only section that I received a "low" score on. I am starting to wrap my head around the fact that I failed and what my next steps are as the CFP Board representative told me it was unlikely that the results would change, but I suppose there is still that "chance" that on Friday that I hear otherwise.
I did see someone else post that they were told by a CFP Board rep. that prometric results were based on an incorrect scoring system... This is all so difficult when there is so much information being passed around and provided from different representatives. Hopefully this is all resolved soon!

Subject: Exam Results Status Clarification
Hi everyone,
We've seen this weekend's posts. Annie isn't available at the moment, so I am stepping in and can confirm the status of the November exam results.
Official November exam results have not been released by CFP Board. We are still in the process of finalizing all scores and still anticipate releasing official results the week of December 17th. The website and link that have been mentioned and posted on the Forum are from an old email. All exam takers need to wait for official notification of results from CFP Board.
While we understand how hard it is to wait for the official results, we encourage everyone to be patient for just a bit longer and wait for the official notice we will be providing. No other communication or information anyone has encountered should be read into, and all exam takers need to await the official results announcement.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you.
