Thanks! I sincerely
hope I will not be in these shoes again next year 😮Up3Did it! 18 months to a (soon to be) charter holder. Verry happy!!!
Up3Oh BTW: be prepared to
be shattered when you take the CFAI mocks. From my experience they are more
difficult than the actual exam and also like to include stuff which Schweser
noted as not necessary. There again, try and keep your cool and focus on the
big picture instead of getting lost on some hidden formula you could not
remember… You will not know all questions on the exam, so try and nail
those you know!Up2Sorry, I have to take that back. They say “successful candidates” so actually no survivorship bias in that average… 😉
Up1Hi Nick,
as I am sure
you have read in several posts on the subject you will very likely not need to
reach 70% to pass the exam.
It is
virtually impossible to know the complete material and feel confident on all
the subjects. For me currencies and options got my head in a twist right threw
to level II. So that is a concept you will definitely have to get comfortable
with when you reach Level II because the material is more extensive. I am not
meaning to scare you, just saying that this feeling of uncertainty in some
areas will not go away, no matter how much time you spend studying.In my opinion the main challenges of the charter lie in discipline and psychology. From what I
read, you have proven that discipline does not seem to be a problem for you which
is a huge plus. So apart from taking the mocks also try and talk to people who
have taken the exam at the same test center, so that you know what to expect on exam day. That will
help you keep your calm and focus on the task.Best of luck!
Up0I was probably framing there 😉 thanks for your input.
