Hi Evryone I haven’t started my prep and feeling very diffident of passing it this time. Want to take it in june 2011. Can i postpone the exam? Will i get refund of my fee? Can anyone post URL of the cfai website pages related to this topic? Thanks.
No you wont. A colleague in my office send CFA an email and they refused.
Thanks. Bad news though… i see myself sinking… The big question is : Should i throw good money after bad one?? by traveling to give an exam that i am underprepared for.
Prepare as much as you can before hand…if you go in with a decent attitude,you never know you may just wing it and scrape through? You will come away with the experience of what the L2 exam is like with less pressure on yourself, this time round. (plus you may help bring the average required score down!)
I was signed up for L2 last year and couldn’t take it. In hindsight, I wish I sat through the exam to get a feel for the vignettes, etc. If you have the time I would recommend it.
yes, you should absolutely go sit for the exam and if nothing else, memorize everything on it so you can prepare for next year and there is no ethical rule against that. and if you get lucky, you’ll know everything you need to study for
You still have 2.5 months to study…
I am in the same boat…starting today…but I would take the exam…worst would be that I won’t pass…at least i will have some material covered for 2011 xam…:)) Unless of course you have to spend a fortune to travel to take the exam!
Even if you do not feel well prepared, sitting through the actual exam is a valuable experience.
I sat for the exam last year and failed it. At that time, I thought I would hit the books in September and be prepared for it in June. Guess what? I haven’t touched any CFA stuff at all! I will sit for the exam, but hoping to get back on the exam track any day now!
