Anyone able to apply for the 2018 scholarship? I am able to, is that telling?

I think it could be tell but not as strong as last years.

I think it’s interesting that it shows too different results for the same action…which leads me to believe it could be a tell.

I have one box. I am retaker who thought they did well the first go around (left none blank in the AM)…and was surprised by the fail. This go around I felt prepared but left 5 percent of the AM blank, but I am not fretting about that - it allowed me to focus on the stuff I knew better.

I have reasonably confidence of a pass this go around but I am tempered by last years fail.

I think the time frame of the tell is a little soon…but certainly possible that they have graded and uploaded the 50 percent they are not regrading…I think there might be time for those with 2 boxes to be flipped to one box.

Of course this is all speculation - but so was last year and that ended up being true.

This is going to make the last 2 weeks super stressful, was enjoying not thinking about the test until now (also being relatively confident in my effort).

Should have known to stay off of AF until closer to results day.

You seem very similar to my own experience in that I’m a retaker and felt much better this time around but after last years AM results I don’t leave myself very much confidence. I also have 1 box, but have believed since the beginning that its simply too early for a tell to be accurate.

I’m actually just wondering if only retakers are getting 1 box or something related to applying to scholarships last year as well as this year is doing something different to the system.

#225

good observation…anyone with 1 box on their first attempt at L3?

#226

Wasn’t the “tell” last year: 2 boxes = Pass, 1 box = Fail?

Why would we see the opposite this year? Regardless, I think it’s way too early and there’s a very low chance this is legit.

#227

It was a different page altogether…

#228

this “tell” is not looking good

#229

That’s because it’s stupid.

Please add the hours spent in trying this one box/two box out… to the effort towards passing CFA Level 3.

FF

Are U in 2 Box Loser Team or in 1 Box StarFucker Team?

#232

Might be helpful to also note whether you are a first time-taker or a re-taker. If everyone that’s a first timer is in the 2-box then it’s a clear debunker.

#234

1st time taking L3.

Never applied for scholarship

Only have one box

#235

@gohatters, so to be clear have you applied and withdrawn this year to test this years tell, or have you still never applied for a scholarship?

#236

looks like we’re just gonna wing it :wink:

#237

never applied for a scholarship

#238

well that debunks that only retakers can get 1 box because paqui and i are both retakers, for whatever it’s worth

#239

1st time taker. I have applied and withdrawn and am 1 box. I am beginning to think this is all means nothing and CFAI is finding a way to continue to stress me out. Wish I could just flashforward to Aug 8th.
