CFA Level III
#261

Finally passed after experiencing failure for the first time at L3. I was really worried I think more because I didn’t want to experience failing again but in the end I was worrying for nothing as I think I passed relatively smoothly. To anyone that failed don’t give up, there is value in trying again and it’s very satisfying when you conquer the mountain. Thanks to everyone on this board for the help and the company thru this journey over the years

passed!!! Yes!!! all three levels on first attempts in 18 months. Fells like Level III was the hardest. I got many AM sections under 50, PM - all over 70.

My advice: preparation is the key! Studied both Schweser and Curriculum, solved all EOC and did Schweser Live mock. Haven’t even counted the total number of hours spent for level 3 - maybe about 600

Good luck to all who take in 2015! Don’t lose the motivation!

#263

Passed! Got band 1 last year. Thank you God. .finally the journey is over.

#264

For some reason AF was not loading all day… but anyway, Pass.

Per CFA website I have three letters after my name and have already ordered new business cards.

To those who passed: Our s**t still stinks, but today it smells just a little bit better.

To those who failed: Keep at it.

Passed, 3 for 3! 18 months and out. PEACE!

Passed, 3 in 3 years. With no financial education background I am pretty shocked but hope it is encouraging to others with similar (lack of) background. Also have to say I’m really impressed with folks who’ve posted above who stuck it out through numerous failures - don’t know if I would have had the strength.

Looking forward to enjoying Memorial Day next year!!!

Yeah you can. Female, married, 29 y.o. here.

June 2012 - My baby is 7 months old, I sat CFA Level-1 exam. Passed with All >70%.

June 2013 - First baby is 1.8 years, I’m 8 months pregnant. Sat CFA Level-2 exam. Passed.

June 2014 - Two babies, husband, household duties. Sat CFA Level-3 exam. Passed.

Do not postpone babies and family, darling. I managed to start and finish my charter while on maternity leave. If I could do it, you can do it, too. I had no help with the babies until 1 month before each exam, when I asked my parents to babysit full-time.

Women CAN and SHOULD have it all, right? :slight_smile:
