Passed. Got my membership application already cleared and activated. CFA charterholder effective 14 August, 2014. H**L YEAH!
Also, those who did not pass - keep grinding, the moment you see those three letters after your name on CFAI website is worth all that pain!

It clearly took me a while to wake up in the AM… Would anyone like to guess how this ended up?
Pass, since you probably performed well in the pm. ???
Passed, and what a relief it is to be finished, in so many ways I’m amazed I ever got through it.
Passed Level 1 on the 2nd attempt, passed level 2 on the FOURTH attempt, and level 3 on the first attempt. Although failure was an inconvenience to me, I feel I have matured more as a person because of it. I feel there was probably one too many fails in there versus the value of that maturity but so be it!
Whatever value I take out of this in terms of my career is yet to be seen, but at least I’ll be able to look back and say that I was willing to persevere with something I found incredibly difficult…and stick it through to the end. I respect and value those who have shared the same path, particularly those who have faced failure at least one time along the way.
congrats mate, and all the best.
I missed Pierre this year, and Miss Cleo for that matter. I don’t think Vicky made it this time round unfortunately.
Clever, man, congratulations! The appreciation is mutual.
On the missing persons topic: how come S2000 hasn’t been through here with congratulations for all those who passed? Vacation, perhaps?
Hah, well it seems you’re poised for bigger and better things in the institutional space!
Congratulations, jayxt!
