they should wait a couple of years till they drop it to an A/B mutliple choice…
Wow …I’m glad i’m not doing level 1
scary stuff…freaked me out.
why is this scary?
passing rates will go down
for level 1 maybe. but why would rates go down for level 3?
Im kinda guessing more people how had their L2 done, and maybe had dropped out will be back writing this year. Maybe im paranoid…
I love it.
I must thank the article for this particularly relevant comparison. “CFA applicants climbed 9 percent from last June, compared with the 35 percent decline in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in the same period.” The CFAI press release: http://www.cfainstitute.org/aboutus/press/release/09releases/20090512_01.html

i hope i get my certified financial analyzer degree this year.
Smells of desperation - people want to stay in finance and will do whatever it takes to get ahead. It’s clear (to me anyways) that the finance industry will shrink, so the conclusion I am drawing is that CFA’s will make up a higher proportion of the profession and make the job market that much more competitive.
