I know someone who failed 4 times but they kept going. but man oh man, your marks show that you just missed it bro and I know it sucks, but hey man I say keep going for it and just practice and practice now. It also seems as if you’ve just used Schweser, and although a lot of people prefer it to the CFA curriculumn I found it very hard to learn from because it doesn’t really explain topics that well and it just summarises formulas. So in a way I found I was just learning formulas and really not understanding what was I was doing with Schweser. If I were you, I would start reading the CFA curriculumn just to get an understanding of the topics, and maybe use Schweser just for summaries of each chapter and practice. Remember the CFA exam is meant to test your understanding and not your ability to churn out similar questions you practiced
Up2@desantol‌ to be honest I was in your exact same situation when I failed level 1 the first time, band 10 as well.Staying positive and not quitting is a great show of character, also it shows it seems as if you know where you went wrong and you’re on the right track to fix your errors. When I failed the first time, I started off studying the topics that gave me the most problems and making sure I got them right second time around. Most people are comfortable studying with schweser only, but for me they didn’t really explain the topics well enough and the summaries were too short, so I don’t think I could get a full understanding of the topics. It sucks for me coz I know I have to work a lot more than a lot of people to pass but it is what it is. Also when you took the past papers, do you think you fully understood the material before taking them, coz past papers are just for more practice and not really for learning anything new. Also I would do the 2 official CFA mocks they post for free on the website, I found those harder than the actual exam
