2012 December CFA I passed

2013 June CFA II passed

2014 June CFA III failed

i am still digesting it

truth is too sad to accept I have never failed any exam in my whole life.

I wish I were in a dream

somebody please wake me up

…

27 female and married, I thought I could finally get my family life back.but no, another year of work/study fatigue.

you guys can study while have babies but I don’t think that’s an option for me.

congratulations to those who passed.

by the way I said I felt bad about PM

i was right.

sorry I’m too embarrassed to post my results.

Keep your head up! As hard as it sounds: Failing is part of the CFA experience for most of us. You are still young and you can delay exams. You have a lot of options! Don’t give up!!!

well said…failing is part of the CFA experience…

thank you…

Passsed … Bye bye all these books and enjoy life

I passed! My AM score is a complete mixed bag:

Less than 50% on first individual, Econ, first Institutional, and Fixed Income.

51% - 70% on second Individual.

Above 70% on Equity, second Institutional, Asset Allocation, Risk Management, Monitor&Rebalance, and last Individual.

On the PM I got 51% - 70% on Equity and Risk Management, and above 70% on everything else.

well said…failing is part of the CFA experience…

thank you…

Bon courage Camille. Bien evidemment c’est un coup dur, mais tu as deja une bonne longueur d’avance sur beaucoup de Francais qui ne connaissent pas le programme CFA (et sur beaucoup d’Americains qui n’ont pas beneficie d’une belle education a la Francaise!). Le niveau 3 est loin d’etre facile, a fortiori quand on ne travaille pas dans un environnement anglophone, mais je suis sure que tu vas cartonner l’annee prochaine. Ce n’est qu’un petit detour: tous les chemins menent a Rome, et au charter…

wow, what a feeling, I dont post normally on AF… But Thank You AF for such a wounderfull platform

Yes, I did it…

Thanks everyone for ur help and inputs…

[a062916]

Comrades,

Passed, but boy it had to be by the slimmest of margins.

In the morning, I was above 70 on 6 questions, and below 50 the other 5! Ugly!

In the PM, above 70 on 5 sets, below 50 on one and in between on 2.

I have total respect for our unsuccessful fellows who are brave enough to post their results here. You have my support in anyway.

I’m no more successful than you.

[Gamblizo]

Passed !

So relieved…!
