Exam results early? What happens if you try to buy Dec 2011 curriculum?

If you took exam this past June and are waiting for the results, what happens if you try to buy Dec 2011 curriculum on CFA Inst’s website? I used to be able to click on link to buy Dec 2011 curriculum, now after I click on “Purchase CFA Curriculum”, a message comes up saying “You are not eligible for additional curriculum at the member or candidate rate. To purchase curriculum at the public rate, Contact Us.” Does anyone get the same message? Wondering if it’s just a site update or if it means something…

I don’t think it means anything. Just try to relax for another few days.

There is now a message on the website “Registration for the December 2011 CFA exam will be temporarily unavailable from 9:00 a.m. ET, 23 July until no earlier than 9:00 a.m. ET, 27 July.” I assume this is so that they can avoid this type of issue.

IVC I get the same message. Waiting for this just sucks

I don’t see this message but waiting does suck. Good luck to everyone!

It only gets worse gents. Good luck.

I hope it doesn’t mean anything, cos I am able to purchase it and there was a ‘CFA Program I registration’ right under the CFA program heading.

I have that too but when you click on CFA Program Level 1 registration, it brings you to a screen with info that you took level 1 on june 4th. do you see the same screen? also, regarding the curriculum purchase, what happens when you click the link? it seems like their IT is on top of it this year, so no leak…

There USED to be such a loophole a few years ago, but that isn’t the case anymore. Just (try to) relax.

Really?? That’s interesting… that must have been the old CFA site

It was discussed in this thread last year: http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?12,1180379

I saw same thing. Wonder why it switched like that

Actually, under exam news & info, there is a box with a related link that says register for the Dec 2011 exam. Guess that is bad news! :frowning:

It brings me to a page to purchase Dec 2011 ebook… boo hoo hoo… Am I the only one?

Guys, im a level 3 candidate and I have the same register for level one message. It means nothing. Keep waiting.

I heard that if you log into your account and try to check if you passed level 1 or not early then the CFAI fails you. Kind of like what happens if you stay up late trying to catch a glimpse at Santa Claus.
