so having english as your first and primary language can be a significant advantage when they toss in those “growth to transitional of a matured company-type” questions… interesting.
Yup… that’s the risk you take as a non-english speaker. And the CFAI obviously doesn’t take this into consideration with their retarded Ethics questions and “which is of the following is not least likely to not affect the above outcome…” type questions. wankers.

I think “scantron” is a universal language. But you do have a point for Level 3 exams…

Of course, these questions are just as indecipherable to native English speakers…

No need to have it as first language, speaking it for a few years helps. I noticed that many kids in the states have worse gamma and spelling than international ones do. And many “english” words are the same in other languages. You need to know English well enough to take the exam and if you do, you know it better than most people in US (except of those english majors who make fun for us business folks).
except us US kids dont use words like “gamma”… unless we are talking about the sensitivity of delta… grammar is the word you are looking for…you are stuck in CFA mode
