You can use a pencil on the entire AM session, why would writing your ID be any different? Relax man!

Not to mention you only used pencil on all your other CFA exams. Why would this be any different?

Makes me feel better about my personal paranoia.

This is the worst spoiler they could have done. I don’t know why they have to wait until Tuesday. I’d rather feel miserable on a weekend than on a Tuesday while at work.

I don’t understand why they’d release the pass rate in advance of the test results. I don’t recall them ever doing that before. Doesn’t make much sense.

To your point, I think I’d rather get it on a Friday as well particularly if fail. On a Tuesday, and I speak from experience, you see ‘Band 10 Fail’ and 30 seconds later your boss is at your door asking “Did ya pass???!!”. At least if on a Friday you’d have the weekend to let the feelings of being a loser sink in before having to relay your worthlessness to everyone at the office.

been there last year… band 10 and everyone is asking (or telling) “obviously you passed, right?”

feels like sh…

~1,329 candidates will score a band 10 this year.

Crossing fingers that I’m not one of them, or worse.

@CFAbeatmeup

The frustrating thing is it appears they already know who passed, they’re just sitting on the original date for whatever reason.

They decide the date months in advance. Don’t expect them to finish on the deadline every year. They need a margin of safety to correct the papers, and revise the MPS.

Wouldn’t it be worse if the results were AT LEAST one month after the exam released, when done? You’d open your mail everyday shitting your pants.

This argument makes no sense. They shouldn’t release results early if they are finished because one year they may not be on time? Many projects are finished early; it’s considered a positive – in America, at least – when parties finish their part of the contract faster than originally stated.

Additionally, I don’t know anybody that would prefer to get their results later. "As for the “don’t expect them to finish on the deadline every year…” comment. Yes, I generally expect a party to finish something when they say they will – that’s Contracting 101, which forms the basis of transactions, which then forms the basis of capitalism.

Are you saying in your second graf that it be worse if the results were at least one month after the exam was released? It is; it’s actually about two months, so I’m not sure of your point on that one broski. Maybe I’m misinterpreting your point?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

You’ve misinterpreted all my points.

Ok. A poorly-communicated message reflects upon the writer, not the reader. I’m not a pedant, but I clearly used your written text as the basis of my response.

As you wrote:

“Don’t expect them to finish on the deadline every year.”

“Wouldn’t it be worse if the results were AT LEAST one month after the exam released…”

I did assume “deadline” meant August 9, because that’s what any reasonable person would assume. The same goes for “exam released [sic]”; I assume you meant test day.

I think the correct response is “I miscommunicated all my points.”

It would be safer to say that you misunderstood all my points.

In any case, releasing results when they are done would be far too ambiguous. This is not a capitalist project with an ETA and ASAP results. Pushing back the results date farther than what is usually needed to complete them is sensible. Random dates of release is not an option. A specified release date in advance is expected in a worldwide test program. Thus it’s better to finish prematurely (which is almost always the case) and release then, then miss the deadline and be held accountable.

That’s clear and a good point. As for the “misunderstood vs. miscommunicated” argument: saying something doesn’t make it true. Your first post was ambiguous at best; awfully worded and essentially nonsensical at worse.

In anticipation of the results, my colleague sleepwalked to the testing location each of the last three nights. When they woke her up last night she was crossing circles in front of the hall and trying to get inside.

I hope you’re joking.

Good luck tomorrow everyone. I hope each and every one of you are part of the 54%.

@ Camden Beer - Good one . Am not sure whether it is in jest or serious. In case it is true, appreciate ur dedication and resilience. Just imagine the amount of free energy that would be released which is now bound because of mental engagement. Best wishes
