I doubt Miss Cleo is a dood, even a gay guy wouldn’t bring this much drama to the table. I would know too, lived with a gay room mate for 2 years, and work/am friends with a flamboyantly gay dood who frequently critisizes my clothes… Alladin seems like he’d be down for gettin a bukaki goin, pretty enthusastically too by the number of posts he’s put up referencing it
…nah joking aside its icky…i’l’ leave it to the japanese/germans…
yeah, if the internet has taught me anything, it’s that they do seem into that
I’m very angry at myself. I blame my failure on running out of time in the morning session and guessing around 12 questions at the end. IT went like this : I look at my watch and there’s 15 minutes left. I look at my answer sheet and I have around 14 questions left to answer. I pretty much sh*t myself and do the next 2 questions. After that I look at my watch and start having a mental breakdown telling myself over and over “I can’t believe this is happening”… From there I could not concentrate and completely screwed up. For whatever reason I failed at properly managing my time, on every practice exam I did I was finishing 30-60 mins early and had time to review. For some reason the morning session kicked my ass and I just could not recover. It’s hard to swallow that I most likely knew enough material to pass the exam, but instead I stepped on my dick…

Is it embarrassing, disappointing, and soul crushing? Yes. Is it the most important thing in the world? Absolutely not. It’s a test. It’s not disease, it’s not the loss of a loved one, and it’s not irrepairable. This coming from someone who just failed for the 2nd time (band 10, band 6 last year after a seriously half ass attempt) and is having a REALLY hard time accepting that it happened. But it did, and we have to keep it in perspective. The feelings are real, but this test is not the be all end all. And if it is, perhaps we have some re-examining to do in life. And since I already sound annoying, I’ll also share my grandpa’s mantra - “It’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s how you deal with it.” It’s a low, low feeling, but how we react and proceed is 100% up to us.
^ great grandparent advice. my grandma used to say “everything happens for a reason”. I think I failed L2 in 2010 because my character needed some strengthening (basically I needed to harden the f— up). It was uncomfortable as hell but I think I am all the better from the experience.
And in the “I hate people who try to make me feel better right now” vein, my boyfriend, who passed L2 on the 1st try without much studying, told me I got unlucky. He was all, “I didn’t deserve to pass level 2 at all, I just made really lucky guesses!” I was like…please stop talking. Right away.
Agreed nycag04, we should have a study group type thing going on AF for the next 100 days. I’ve already made my first 50 notecards, and put in 4 hours of studying since everything went to hell yesterday. No Excuses this time.
hehe two tough ladies…all the <3 to ya

No Excuses this time. just be careful about burnout. take a day off every once in a while when you get fed up, and I’m pretty sure you will at this pace.

Keep perspective: At 9 am yesterday morning someone else got their exam result…it told them that they only have a week to live. That is an exam result worth fretting over. In the grand scheme of things; failing the CFA Level 2 is not tragic. Be grateful for the quality of your problems. It’s just an opportunity to show what you can overcome adversity. There will be plenty of adversity in our investment careers. The ability to overcome will determine future success. Don’t sweat the small stuff 
Im all fing crushed n sht, i havent failed an exam in my life, got of L1 1st attempt all 70+ except 1. I dont feel like talking to my peers, they r all like " its alright man sht hapens somtime" easy for them 2 say. i kno its dramatic bt i dont even feel like smilin man even on sm funny sht on this discussion forum. Got a band 10. Really craving for a retab, i kno its a long 100$ shot bt I thnk im gona for it as it was my 1st attemp, im inclined towards it. Im not like i wanna kill myslf n or drug myslf to fing utopia. bt i kno 1 week of getin over n ill b fine. Wat ever the result of this retab will be, the next june exam , I plan to master everything there is n not leave anything to chance, wat I kno is u hav to study everything n anything that exists in the cfa curriculum. All in all, dont let this exam put u down, n believe that its not because of ur incompetence bt luck . Preservence and faith is all u need . Like rocky balboa said: Its not hard u hit but how hard u get hit n keep moving forward,how much u can take n keep moving forward thats how winning is done" take the example of eminem, he got fed a thousand times his life bt he kept on goin n luk wheres he at rite nw, so chin up!!

Grief of failing Level 2 can be easily forgotten with two hookers and an 8 ball… However, after two days of recovery I’m going to put my order in for the GMATS for November, and come January 1 2012 it’s balls to the wall CFA Level 2 time. I don’t care if I have to quit my job to study 16 hours a day, I’m not giving up until I conquer level 2. Like Arnold said, “STOP WHINING!” and “STOP BEING A GIRLY MAN!”
