hey mumu I am sorry to hear that…I failed with band 10 too…I feel your pain…hey look at it this way…we’ll be the seniors here this year !!!
Unfortunate. Going by your posts on the forum, I know that you deserve to pass much more than me.
Failing sucks…but there is always next time!
Mumu, don’t loose hope, you are this near to clear the exam, CFAI is testing your patience
Sorry to hear about you mumu and N.vancandidate. Lets pass this exam next year and get it done for once and all.
mumukada, looking at your results, you would have passed if you had handled the individual and institutional policy statement questions a little better. You did well enough to pass on every other question. Before giving up, I would ask yourself if you think you could score the same in all other areas but improve your IPS scores? I would bet you could and will pass this beast next year. N.vancandidate and drs should have passed this year. I had that happen to me on Level II and almost gave up, but a few encouraging words from some charter holders convinced me to go one more time. I am glad I took their advice.
Hard luck this time Mumu. Keep your chin up … u know u can do this…
you can do it, i failed last year at band 7. studied better and smarter this year and passed. a lot of people did it. read this and maybe you’ll change your mind: http://www.scribd.com/doc/16588637/Paul-Tudor-Jones-Failure-Speech-June-2009 good luck!
Sorry to hear that mumu. Give it some time before you make any big decisions. You know you can do it. With a little more studying you will knock it out of the park.
Sorry Mumu. Band 10 hurts, but you’re so close. Keep going.
i think band 10 guys were just unlucky. u ought to see my result. i’m a band 2. so failed miserably. i knew i had messed up the morning session, not being able to complete a reasonable chunk of the test but i now find the damage was huge. i am actually surprised with my afternoon session though coz i thought i had done a 100% there. feel like a total loser… here, check out my result. guys i think i need huge help on how to crack the am.
