Are we all over-achievers?

I did only okay – got better in university. let’s just say i wouldn’t say i’m overachieving at the moment.

Yeah I just don’t think they’re as hardcore. They get so much time off to study, and spread their stuff over so many years. I have many friends taking accountancy exams and judging by their complaining I don’t think they have it as crazy as we do.

I did pretty well in school. But not sure what that means.

I think we are just a very committed group. Most (non-CFA writers) are just flabbergast at the idea of self-studying for 6 months to write a 6 hours exam. They just think it is too intense.

I’d say we’re more of a driven bunch though.

Or nerdy. 🙂

LOL, isn’t other professional qualifications like ACA or FIA (for the actuaries) equally nuts?

@TacheMan Got great grades both in school and university, but not very nerdy, I only studied what was necessary and paid attention in class. I’m liking the CFA a lot because I can go at my own pace, and because I am learning many things that were loose at my University.
