Congrats bro! L2 is a sumabich but u prevailed 
Thank u to all of you! You encouraged me to retake the CFA level III exam after 2-year break (during that period, I have finished my CPA).
I wish that I could put the pass result here next year…like you did…
I will remember forever " Never say never"…
Some amazing stories here.
Dec 2009: Failed Level 1.
June 2010: Passed Level 1.
June 2011: Registered but did not attempt the exam.
June 2012: Passed Level 2.
June 2013: Passed Level 3.
Lost two girlfriends from 2010-2012, decided not to let another girlfriend distract me from Level 3 and from my job. Now picking up the pieces of my life.
Honestly i don’t think i have the will power to re-take an exam after i have failed 3 times.
BUT CONGRATS to you, and seriously good for you, i admire your spirit and your willingness to share!

Good things come in packages. In 2012 I was at the height of my misery, in an abusive and horrifying workplace. And in the same week, I passed level 2, got a job offer, and was able to throw my resignation letter at my boss. Now it’s 2015, and this week I’ve passed level 3, and there’s talk of me being promoted into a bigger role.
Two girlfriends have come and gone in the meanwhile. So now I just need to get the charter, that promotion, and a new girlfriend this week, and life will be back on track.
Nice stories of perseverance. Congrats to all and especially for sop123, OP.
