Can everybody take off from work next week?

CFA Level I
#1

I can’t. It sucks…I’m so stressed out knowing that I don’t have much time left but have so much to do…I feel I’m forgetting everything… Shall I do more mocks or just go over the notes and LOS? Can’t believe time goes by so fast…

#2

Just go over questions and weak LOS’s now. Sorry mate, but be happy you have a job, unlike me.

#3

I’m in the same boat. I work in finance, and this is month end for us, busiest time of the month. I’m not allowed any time off and I work 14 hour days to get stuff done, so revision for me is going to be done during the night. Think I’ll be lucky to get 4hrs sleep a night this week! Still, I don’t care as long as I pass. If I fail, I’ll be gutted though. Best of luck to you and just do the best you can with the short time we have left.

I put in my vacation request for this week like 2 months ago… for level 2 i’m probably going to take off the 3 weeks before the exam and start studying then. It doesn’t seem worthwhile to start studying earlier then that, since sporadically studying doesn’t help much.

#5

just call in sick for 2 days before the exam, thats what im doing and I think that should be all you need : )

#6

I planned on taking the whole week off, and saved up my vacation time so I could. But wouldn’t you know that this would be a really busy week, and now I’ll be lucky to take Friday and part of Thursday.

#8

At work now. Will be here all week and until 5PM Friday. You’re not the only one.

#9

Took the whole week off and it is fantastic!

#10

working all day long except wed and thursday taking half day to do a full review… not sure if i should study on friday…

#11

Friday I plan to sleep in, do a little review, work out, and just try to relax.

#12

I asked for Thursday and Friday off and instead got laid off! Our research team got cut by 75% last week. At least I get this week off to study and I hope karma bites my ex-boss in the ass BIG TIME!! And I no longer work for a complete MORON!! Yeah!!!

#13

Can’t take the week off but my boss is letting me study as much as I want while I’m at work. Can’t beat that
