CFA Level III

Failed - Band 10.

180 hours of studying, 3 practice exams, mismanaged my AM time and ended up leaving 2 and a half item sets blank (the last 2.5).

Will get some more AM exams under my belt and pass next year.

Annoying, but thats the game we sign up for!

Failed, sad day for me.

Note: In AM section, I don’t believe having less than 30% in the topic I’m under 50.

My post-exam auto-evaluation: AM: 3/3/4 PM:2/3/5 Pass My mock-exam auto-evaluation: 59 (2014) & 64 (2015) in AM section

Thank you s2000, I didn’t ask question personally, still use the research a lot and read so many answer from you, you are the real MVP
