      I can relate to the mood swings. There has been a few times during FRA where I’m thinking what the heck I’ve gotten myself into. Anyone else want to throw their head into a wall at times?

      Having finished a mock exam the weekend before my Level 2, I scored in the mid-50’s. I jumped up, screamed in anger, and launched the pen across the room into the wall on the other side. Man I was pissed. Luckily it was in the office at 10pm on a Saturday so I was on my own. Ended up passing, god knows how!

      @MattyJ I destroyed so many pens and pencils, tore pages out of books. The only thing I haven’t damaged is my calculator, but I guarantee I will be taking a shotgun to that m*therf*cking medieval torture device if I ever pass LIII.

        Note that no geniuses clear CFA exams, they are rather hardworking people.

        It’s all about dedication. We’re detecting (again) that lack of preparation and complacency is the biggest factor for failure in the CFA exams, not background, or any kind of pre-CFA finance education.

        I did become quite anti-social when I was prepping for my CFA exams though.. :S

        I also became antisocial mostly because I have such an active social life that I just had to cut back significantly.

        I had a significant advantage over you all. I’ve always been antisocial.

        But now, I have an excuse! 😉

        I became antisocial just because I don’t like other people.

        By going social I dont mean partying all night..or hanging out all day. But I did need some refreshing time with people; sometimes a short shopping visit or just a walk in the park with my bestie!!

          Wow wonderful post! Thumbs up.

          The way I see it, the charter is half what you get after completing the program. The other half is the person it helps you become. And that, my friend, is invaluable.

              @Sophie @zee my wife is Virginian and her family have quite the arsenal, when I get round to it (hopefully next August) the destruction could make a pretty spectacular video! 😛 Actually, just thinking off the top of my head, clay pigeon launcher could be quite good.
