Isn't it high time we had the Level 2 exam twice in a year?

[CFAbeatmeup]

@iamMichael

That is what I am saying! We need to write the CFA exams once a decade LOL.

Imagine the prestige of being a CFA charterholder. WOW.

And if you fail a test once, automatic expulsion from the program.

[onlysimon]

@Imperfect_hedge

To me, that would diminish from the prestige and rigor of the program if the charter could be earned so quickly.

by that logic, create a soa.org account and schedule 6 exams in the next 3 months.

[iamMichael]

onlysimon, your logic isn’t similar to imperfect hedge’s actually.

He is saying: If the CFA charter was easy and quick to get, then it wouldn’t be as prestigous.

[Ron_Swanson]

@onlysimon

by that logic, create a soa.org account and schedule 6 exams in the next 3 months.

well, what do you think would happen if they limited them to once per year, and you needed to finish each one before moving on to the next, and you had to graduate college before signing up for all but the first one.

my guess is that an ASA would become more valuable, and people who had them would see their pay increase.

[itera]

Heck, forget the CFA, let’s make all competitions more frequent.

Olympics every year. Four years is so lame. Give all the silver and bronze losers a special chance to compete for that extra 2 seconds on their run. maybe they lost becuase of indigestion, or had the trots from eating some funky fruit. It’s only fair the losers are given another shot.

I’m not trying to kick you in the shins, I just don’t get where you’ve developed this second Band 7 line as a way to determine candidates that were prepared but just fell short of the mark. As I stated earlier, I view Band 7 as being significantly unprepared for the exam, but that’s just my personal opinion. I’m struggling to see where you were able to ascertain that as the second line in the sand that separates a group of failing candidates.

Luckily my opinion doesn’t matter though. I truly don’t know what goes into the CFAI grading process, and frankly I don’t care because seeing the amount of time some people put on here put into figuring out the MPS would drive me insane. But that process is there, it’s their program and I’ve signed up for it. I’ll go with that line and just try to prepare as much as humanly possible to cross it.

Fair enough, and I could have been more expansive with this point (sorry Hashtag, I know I need to be less expansive). The 7 was merely a starting point. as they did better than 60%-70% of those who failed. The number could be changed upward (more restrictive like 9s and 10s only, or less --including all the way down to band 1 and let everybody re-sit).

I’d rather not argue specific cut points, as that wasn’t the main principle of my argument. My main point was this was a way to protect current charterholders more from a surge in passing candidates while adding a second test – that was all. : )

Maybe this test isn’t for you… it’s ok, it’s not for everyone. Maybe try the plumbing exam? I hear they offer it every month!

Good lord, imagine acting like this? What a joke.

Lighten up you stick in the mud.

Yeah, yeah. I’m light, and you’re not funny. It isn’t a coincidence your picture there contains the word “troll”. You’re not offering anything to the discussion other than blatant disrespect to this guy (and plumbers as tickersu pointed out lol).

Just to be crystal clear (and I’m pretty sure we already are)-- I meant the plumbing trade was degraded by his comment, because he insinuated that it was a terrible career choice (or required no skills). As others have pointed out, his comment is pretty backwards…

[ltj]

Yeah, I got what you were saying. I truly have no use for these people who have already passed L2 and just come here to troll us. It’s very weird because I agree wtih their side of the argument, but their delivery is just excruciating. This place is better left untouched in times of waiting for results/not studying I’m learning.

To be fair, this is a much better attempt at humor than your previous ones. I’d give you the bronze medal and let you try again to humor me, but I’m classifying future comments as humor, however, and not serious debate.

Not sensitive at all bro. I tell you what, we’ll work on our collective *sensitivity* when you learn comedic timing. For example, most people here on this forum (one that’s specifically for L2 candidates) actually wanted to debate the topic at hand. A (very) few of you “funeral comedians” have came in and injected lame attempts at humor during a debate that most people were serious in discussing.

Sorry what we’re discussing is apparently offensive enough for you to crash our party, but we’ll stop being so *sensitive* when you stop being so *funny.*

Oddly enough, I’m actually having fun…I think it’s odd for you to be on a forum that doesn’t apply to you, but I’m ok, bro.

[ltj]

I’m pretty sure it’s like a hardfast rule of the internet that the people who dish out the "you mad, bro?"s are the ones the most upset, usually stretching far deeper than the argument at hand.

I notice “Passed Level III” up there and not “Charterholder”. Could be the key to unlocking this mystery. I also notice a lot of free time to troll a L2 forum during regular working hours. Another key… Hmm.

[Harrogath]

I know a plumber man that earns more money than my future me 3 years from now… So plumbers, respect.

[calvol]

Simple fact is, CFAI gives L1 2x/year to get more people in the program, and move more folks on to L2 (more revenue),

and only gives L2/L3 1x/yr to maintain exclusivity of the Chart!

Anybody that thinks CFAI doesn’t have the resources to create the L2/L3 exams 2x/yr is drinking the CFAI kool-aid !!!
