Failed as well

I don’t think FRA needs a lot of memorization. the more understanding of FRA, the lesser amount of memorization is needed, so like just I wrote above, accountability is a system that can be learnt, that simple.

L1 FRA is almost all memorization from what I recall. L2 FRA is more conceptual though with pensions, currency translation and intercorporate investments.

You were bad on Alternative Investments? Well, you just didnt study that I guess because AI is kind of easy. About FRA you are forgiven.

All hail the self-proclaimed level 1 king…

Come on, you know is a 4x2 questions of AI, and the reading is not heavy, I got 50-70% score of AI at the last exam. Since the lower band is <=50% I didnt do 4 bad questions, im higher than that. I did not score 70% band so I would need 6 good answers to stay there. I scored 5/8… that is not a king anywhere.

And about FRA, that sh.it is hard, even for you.

I was referring to the fact that you told the other candidate that he clearly didn’t study since he didn’t do well on the item set… Again, it seemed arrogant, given that the OP was asking for advice.

As for FRA, I hadn’t made any comments about the difficulty. I believe difficulty is relative. I have a finance background, and I ended up scoring >70% in each content area on the exam, which is congruent with the practice questions and mock exams I completed. I think the exam and preparation would have been much more difficult for me had I not earned a degree in finance. My hat is off to people who study the CFAI curriculum in a few months and pass.

He made a mistake saying AI, he already meant FI, which he said got <50% score, and I wasn’t arrogant since getting <50% on AI is just simply because you didn’t study and you must be agree. But if we talk about FI, the figure changes.

The topic he was talking about or meant to talk about is irrelevant…I think getting less than 50% indicates you didn’t understand the tested material, even at basic level. I don’t think that necessarily means the person didn’t study. Things just don’t click for some people, and people often blank on exam day. I have a few friends who are like this. They study a lot: read, write notes, read notes, practice questions, and even sound like they know the material when you converse with them. Yet, they fail the exam.

I guess my point was more that the OP asked for help, not for your opinion on whether or not he or she studied…

But, I’ll let you have this. You did forgive him, and that is the important part.

Well, I prefer to tell a guy he didn’t study properly to tell him he is a mental handicap. Why don’t you just ask for more details about his approach before telling him what you think he did or didn’t do?

I wont ever tell a ppl it is a retarded and that it cant get all information to the brain, thats absurd. A lot of highly intelligent people will tell you it is impossible to retain everything, but you disagree (I’m sure studies have been done, also). Thank goodness you have corrected the fallacy that we can’t remember everything we learn…

I think you are sensitive with this case because your friends have biased your common sense and you just relate the “failure” with “disability”. Thats wrong.

Regards

A lot of your conclusions are laughable… I’m not saying the OP is mentally handicapped (in fact, I didn’t ever say that). To me, it seemed arrogant on your part because he was just asking for help (again, this was my point-- nowhere did I assume he didn’t study or is handicapped, as you put it).

I made a point to say that someone can study and not perform well for any number of reasons (which made it sillier for you to outright tell the OP he didn’t study). There are many reasons why you can underperform on topics, but I made no attempt to pin down why the OP didn’t perform as well as he wanted (I only offered the reality that other things could have caused this). It’s highly variable why people don’t do well. For example, blanking on an exam doesn’t have a whole lot to do with intelligence or ability…

I have friends and acquaintances that run the spectrum, so no, I don’t think my friends have biased me in any direction. Some people I know do struggle with academics, while others consistently perform extremely well. Should we assume these people study all the time because they perform so well? I’ve found that many of the “underperformers” are busy balancing a job and family along with school, so they’re more impressive to me than someone with fewer responsibilities who is acing every class.

Another comical assumption you’ve made is that I relate failure with disability, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. I have a friend who is labeled as “disabled” because he falls on the autism spectrum (high functioning). But, let me be clear, he surpasses almost anyone I’ve ever met on an intellectual basis.

Ok. I think the fact here is that you accuse me of being arrogant regardless of the context of my opinion.

If you remember well (you can re-read), I told him “he didnt study” because he wrote he got <50% score on Alternative Investments which you may agree it is one of the easiest topics on CFA 1. Then the guy corrected himself and said it already was Fixed income the bad topic and I said in a kidding way “you are forgiven”, because that topic is hard, and I’m agree that even if you study that you can fail.

In spite of you knowing these facts you still accuse me of being arrogant because you only judge my intention. I think that is wrong, because you must judge the facts within its context. It is not the same to mistake a basic formula because you didnt study it properly than mistake the relativity theory ecuations and still telling him “You Didn’t Study”… The first example is like this case, the other one would fit your accusations.

Hope you had already understood my position.

Hope you had already understood my position.

I’m going to say we can agree that this conversation is pretty pointless about 3 posts ago (although I still played into it).

Congrats on passing, let’s put the effort towards studying for level II!

[Harrogath]

Ya, let’s hug.

Tickersu, congrats too for passing level 1 and start the road for level 2 now!

[tickersu]

Thank you!

[Deal_Clincher]

In my previous attempt I failed with a band 6, that was my first attempt.

Though I did not get ample time to study previous time, but I believe revising the material at least for once makes a lot of difference.

All the best!!
