HA! +1 So what do you say to everyone else in the world (the majority) who aren’t smart enough to pass this test? I suppose they are “nowhere near intelligent enough to lead a life worth living”, if they can’t pass this exam either, right? 5.99 Billion people - GONE! Someone said on this forum last year that this is a designation that they want. They are gonna be in the industry for 30 years or so, so time was not an issue. They were simply going to get it. That was it. They’d failed twice and didn’t bat an eye. Signed up immediately for the next sitting. Showed determination and character. I give myself 3 tries per exam. If I truly worked my butt of and couldn’t do it after 3 tries, then it’s not for me - I’ll have reached my limit, and I’m ok with that. I know I can’t be a doctor cause I can’t deal with needles. I know I can’t be a chemist because I’m bad at chemistry, etc. doesn’t mean I’m a freggin failure. Need to check yo life priorities woman…

I dont think we should give the drama queen any more sympathy. Its a frickin scantron test for christ sakes. Get over it. There are much more important things in life than being able to regurgitate FCFF equations.

Maybe! If Cleo’s up for it…
I failed band 4; first time
Failed band 7, 1st attempt but no regrets. I expected a band 9-10 though. Totally relying on Schweser Videos and Schweser practice tests was a huge gamble that didn’t paid off this time. I should have opened the books :(. This is behind me now. I will start FRM Part 2 prep starting tomorrow. This is another beast. Good luck to all of you for the next exam. - Alternative Investments 18 * - - - Corporate Finance 36 * - - - Derivatives 36 - * - - Economics 18 * - - - Equity Investments 72 - - * - Ethical & Professional Standards 36 - * - - Financial Reporting & Analysis 72 - - * - Fixed Income Investments 36 * - - - Portfolio Management 18 - - * - Quantitative Methods 18 * - -

It really isn’t… That CPK guy failed the first time so I think everybody who knows this exam and isn’t a dick-head would agree that luck plays a huge part. At least this isn’t the Olympics - we only have to wait one year to try again and our embarrassment isn’t televised to the whole world. Every year at least half the candidates go through what you are feeling. It’s ok to be angry because the process isn’t fair but there is absolutely nothing stopping you coming back next year and hitting it out of the park like so many have done before. All the best.
I just failed with a Band 10 for the second year in a row. Needless to say, I’m agitated. Beat that.

Miss Cleo, I have been where you are and it stinks but it can and will get better if you want it badly enough. To get where you are now you have shown you have the tool kit to do it. It may just take a bit more stamina that’s all. You may think you have messed up but the majority of people in senior positions within the industry do not have this designation. You can succeed without it should you decide it’s not worth it, but I am sure you’ll get it. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! God bless.

I agree. Retabulation (or retabulaction, as qqqbee used to call it) doesn’t make much sense unless you’re in band 1 and convinced you should have passed. It’s true too that CFAI hand grades about 20% of the exams.
I would never think less of anyone who had to repeat L2 . I know many smart professionals who had to repeat it.
