CFAI Website Down?

@JayWill

I highly recommend printing the PDFs and doing mock on paper, as it better simulates the real thing where you write on the exam book and underline/annotate the cases. Then you can tabulate your score by hand or punch in your answers online (or both). Run a timer on your phone or something to keep time. Paper can’t crash on you in the middle of a test.

my paper just crashed.

[LuisG]

Not working here either.

This is really disgusting, but at least we can not say it´s fair since we are all in the same situation…

ugggh still down

[biuku]

someone noted their Topic Test landing page finally reported something other than 0 for their score.

i did my first TT in Oct; it’s been 0’s since then.

So, did they literally do a software upgrade right before the exam, and that coincides with intermittent, broken access daily since Sunday?

Have no idea if they’re related, but an upgrade in the final crunch is not ideal.

I left few items set to do these days… deffinitely not a good idea

If you still can’t get on, try incognito mode or reset your cookies

[MagicHat]

If you print off the PDF of the Mock exam does the website let you enter the answers to score it and give you answer explanations and everything? Worried about having it crash on me in the middle of practicing the mock tomorrow.

No, you can get a premium account for $100 more and get unlimited access

Seems ethical, candidates pay for different levels of service as long as disclosed and everyone has an opportunity to act on the same information.

They sure did; I too noticed the that the feature was actually working today. I agree, a software upgrade days before the exam - now there’s a tech team who just wanted to get it done, and given that they are twice removed from the real users, felt no fear in leaving the site in a shambles once done with the upgrade.

Or a management team trying to find ways to knock a few candidates off center and thus keep the volume of potential rock-star financial analysts minimized.
