What were all the tells last year that you passed?

CFA Level III
#1

Anyone remember? Yeah I’m ahead of myself - I know. But, like, whatever.

#2

Yeah i was nervous as shit, thought I had bombed the exam, and was running back and forth between my desk and bathroom on results day. Ended up scoring in top 7%. Have the same vibes this year. Will probably shit myself (again) and end up passing.

Go for CFA they said, it will be fun they said. My ass.

#3

My recollection is that the only definitive tell was the e-mail that began, “Congratulation!”

YMMV.

#4

Besides having the ‘3 boxes’, it was definitely the congratulatory email that came through at 8:02am EST rather than the “expected” 9:00am EST release time.

#5

If you have the required work experience, go and become a member.

You will appear in the directory. When you pass, CFA appears automatically after your name. Maybe they will have the database updated early?
