Extended data:
The passing rate of futures qualification examination is about 35%, which seems not high, but it is not too low. The qualification examination for futures business, as an introductory examination for the nature of futures business access, belongs to the national qualification examination, including two subjects: "basic knowledge of futures" and "futures laws and regulations". The examination is supervised and guided by China Securities Regulatory Commission, sponsored by China Futures Association, and specifically undertaken by ATA Company.
In recent years, China's futures market has developed rapidly, and the number of futures practitioners is also increasing, so the number of people applying for the futures qualification examination is also increasing year by year. However, the pass rate has not improved. This also shows that the futures qualification examination is difficult and requires candidates to have certain professional knowledge and practical experience to pass smoothly.
