Reviewed exam feelings

[MajorNYC]

I agree. I thought Econ was very hard and had tricky questions (especially the first three questions). I even went back to the CFAI books right after the exam and the exam questions were trickier and less straight forward than the examples. I can’t imagine how anybody would say those questions were easy. Maybe you knew them, but “easy” is a stretch.

PM was also very hard for me, although I solved for the answers (after the fact) after I had time to truely think through it. I didn’t have the time on the exam since I saved PM to the end so I know I missed at least two in PM, maybe 3.

AI was easy but I work for in an AI fund… Ethics - I could have got a perfect score or missed all of them.

I thought Econ was one of the easier sections on the test. Ethics was a royal pain!

I’m racking my brain trying to remember what the exams questions were and, aside from ethics, am totally drawing a blank. The only questions I can remember are the ones that I got stuck on. It’s hard to reassure yourself when you can’t recall even the item set topic areas so any confidence I had post-exam has slowly disappeared.

Damn, calm down you life-loving maniacs. I guess you all missed the sarcasm in my tone. I’ll have to continue to remind myself that I’m posting on a god damn finance forum, not Redditt.

Hahaha

This was funnier than your first post lmao

Pretty sure I failed. I haven’t been on the forum much and was happily enjoying summer when my wife asked me a couple days ago when I found out. Then I snapped at her she said. I tried to explain that I’m purposely not thinking about it right now and am not optimistic so no need to bring it up…She hates this exam. Now that she brought it up I started stressing out again but I know I failed and any pass would be attributed to a lot of luck. The sliver of hope almost makes it worse.

It’s better to have no expectation after the exam.

I would never think to myself “i’m confident i passed” because i know i’ll fall hard on my face if i don’t.

Never bee too confident, but never worry too much.

It’s just another day, another exam, no biggie, no one’s gonna die.

Think about other tragedies are happening in this world… i sometimes have an evil thought “would i rather have cancer or fail this exam?”

… i prefer failing the exam.

This is my attitude. Although, it will be a pain to have to re-study this material again.

I purposely avoid hanging out with friends/coworkers who ask about the exam. I just want to tell them that if I pass, I will let you know (may even choose to buy you a drink). But don’t stress me out over it. Can’t wait to get it over with. Was very optimistic - now just don’t know…

I hate it when people around me try to be reassuring and what not. I wish I hadn’t told anybody about this stupid exam. If I fail now, there worst part will be to confess. Erks.
