Hahahaha, the “upper crust.” You’re awesome. “between you and I”. Isn’t this a forum?? THe only thing worse than stupidity is one’s assumption of their own intelligence.
I walked out of level II thinking it was a cake walk… and I passed w/ 70 in all. and 50-70 in port man, FI, and Quant. I think it could have been tougher… FSA was was too easy in my opinion. Corp Fin was really really easy. Equity was somewhat difficult but still scored 70+ I spent a TON of time sturdying tough… alomst a year lol. A buddy of mine crammed in like 6 weeks and passed… he failed eithics and alt investments… ones that I aced. I wish they would publish our real scores

@ rstewart - you spent nearly a year studying??? of course you thought it was a ‘cake walk’. I don’t think studying for a year and scoring a 70% is exemplary of an easy test. Yet another reason why this discussion about whether this test should be harder is dumb since there’s people out there who think studying for 12mths (even 4-6mths) is normal.
this is a stupid thread
yes, we should make this thread harder
“THe only thing worse than stupidity is one’s assumption of their own intelligence.” If you didn’t realize I was being facetious then you are pretty slow yourself. Did you even follow the conversation? Or my original post that “I almost cried when I saw I passed” (which was obviously only half-serious but should have been telling). If I am guilty of anything, it is of using nuance that flew way above your head. I have no doubt that Skill understood. I have little doubt that you did not.
Kamilio, 1. Just because you sound a little more polite in your postings does not mean what you say is any less condescending or ignorant. You posted your words and you are judged accordingly. 2. Delta1012 absolutely CRUSHED you. And I’m not talking about exam scores.

Let’s make people click 17 times in random spots all over the screen before they can post in this thread. That way the people who post with questionable intelligence won’t kill the appreciation I have for posting. Again, no offense to the people who can’t click 17 times in random spots all over the screen but I am just wondering if any other people who post feel the same way. I also want to add that I am not even sure I deserve to post in this thread. I don’t think practicing my clicking for 3.2 months while working should have been doable, specially when you take a couple week break inbetween to rest your fingers. The thread would gain from increasing the difficulty of access to this post. I would support this stance EVEN if my posts decreased significantly and I was no longer allowed to post.
How did you do on your Mock clicks?
posted twice…

I guess dude, you’re right, I’m over it. I’d rather cede to you than try to decipher what you were trying to say.
