Dear LII Forum - See you next year

CFA Level II
#1

Couldnt sleep night before test, never in my life has that happened to me. I got spanked on that exam.

#2

Don’t count your broken eggs before they’re hatched! You never know!

#3

Damn, how did that happen? Not sure if you caught any of my posts, but I mentioned doing this last year and I believe it had an effect on my overall performance. But don’t count yourself out until the results come out, this exam was really tough.

#4

I evened you out by spanking that exams ass. Sorry you had to be the yin to my yang-chung.

#5

I got a tombstone piledriver in the AM.

#6

I just cannot get this out of my system. Just this hit my pysche. just killing me

#7

i couldn’t sleep the night before either… between my mind racing and having the first day of summer it seemed… 80 degrees in my apartment and I don’t sleep well when I’m hot. was almost falling asleep after lunch/before afternoon session. don’t know if fatigue clouded my thinking or not but I found the first 3-4 item sets to be quite tough on both sessions.

#8

I will also be seeing you next year. Got brutalized on the exam.

#9

Yup I’ll see you there too, I failed for sure, next time I’ll get it though

#10

I am going to quit if I do not pass. It is too much time taking away from me where I could have looked for cheap bargain stuff in markets using graham screen. bpdulog, I applaud you for this.

#11

Its always hard to sleep before exams, may not be a bad idea to take an alka seltzer and give yourself 8-10 hours.

#12

I took 3 benadryl at 8:30 on friday night. I woke up, guns blazing at 6:45 without an alarm. Rock solid sleep.

#13

Woke up at 6am without an alarm. Had two alarms set JIC – regular clock and iPhone across the apartment on an annoying ringtone. Nonsequitor…took 600mg of ibu at home in the AM and 600mg at lunch to prevent test-induced headaches. New test strategy for the future!

#14

I couldnt sleep during level 1…same thing happened this time as well

#15

I took a benzo and had a night cap around 8:30 asleep by 9:30, sweated the bed out around 12:30 back to sleep and up at 5:30 read to hit some balls. Overall, I don’t really have a problem sleeping, I do tend to sweat the bed out when I am thinking too much though.

Wow, I could have written this… My investment has improved from the CFA but if I focused the time into searching for deep value bargins I think I’d end up ahead with the graham stuff. Also throw in having a kid in there, I spend time with him at night then have the mutually exclusive choice: research stocks | study CFA

#17

I did sleep but i was too exhausted by 3 pm :S Coffee didn’t work this time for me! :frowning:

#18

I sweat a lot the night before the exam. Couldn’t sleep well. My sleep was decent in level one, so I guess L2 is definitely putting a lot more pressure on me. Oh, I couldn’t sleep at all the night before the exam result though for L1, and I’m sure it’ll be the same for L2.
