The following spring I took CFA Level 3 and faile, band 5. The following Spring I took CFA Level 2 and passed. I loved learning all the new shit, which was totally new to me. Here I was with this new job and I needed the fundamental skills to really do it properly. It seems to do that for most everybody who doesn’t get it done quickly in 18 months. My enthusiasm for the CFA has waned in a big way. As long as it gives them satisfaction, why bother whether they fail or pass!īut we could term those folks as idiots, who dont clear the exam and claim that its CFAI’s fault and not his or hers You know what I mean mate So I probably wont blame those who want to clear it even though they are extremely weak in algebra or have no affiliation to this industry like me. Thankfully I havent failed yet, and even if I do, I think I will still get this cleared. I am 34 now and have a 7 year old son! I dont think I will ever derive complete benefits of this certification, nor do I think I will ever become a charter holder as I dont have the required work exp. But my family members do think so… They ask me why are you so adamant on doing a 21? Do 10K multiple times is their question! Cant blame them, because they cant see me in pain!Īnd I work in IT and am trying to clear the three levels of this exam because it kind of pacifies me for not having done MBA when I needed to do it. I agree they are not completely parallels mate. I think that I could have probably put in almost no study at all and gotten score band 4 on Level 2. So I think that score band 10 was okay, given the circumstances.Īnd if a person scores in the bottom half of all test takers, I wonder how serious they really are about the test. All of this between taking Level 1 in December and taking Level 2 in June. Then I left that job and started another new job. And I started a new job in a new industry. But I had a new house in a new city in a new state, with a newly pregnant wife. You can just buy used textbooks on Amazon and learn. But you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars to learn. That being said, I understand that everybody learns something new during their study. (The CFA exam is like being pregnant–you either are, or you aren’t. And if you don’t pass, then you’ve essentially wasted your time and money. The CFA exam, however, is a “Pass” or “Fail” test. Whatever your motivation, I dont think your wasting your time by running. ![]() Some people run for health, some run for enjoyment. Sooraj–I think that running and the CFA exam are not good parallels. So, those of us who are past the real hurdle, but are still in the thick of the battle, who agrees with me? Who agrees with Howard? ![]() Thankfully, I aced it the second time around. But I told myself that if I didn’t pass it the second time, I was going to hang up my hat, because I just couldn’t do it. I had a great many extenuating circumstances (as we all do), so I tried again the next year. I, for one, failed Level 2, with a score band of 10. The sooner you realize that and move on, the sooner you get your life back. If you can’t pass (for whatever reason), then you can’t pass. Some have the time and the brains, but lack the fortitude to put in the 1000+ hours (on top of your job and family time and other time). Some lack the 1000+ hours of time that it takes to study. But those who never win, AND never quit are idiots.
