^ I feel just as much stress and pressure as anyone to perform. I’m glad for it because it means that anyone who wants to be where I’m at has to be able to handle it as well as I can. Give me anything, no matter how bad, stressful, or psychologically distressing - I might not like it, but I’m going to use my will to get through it and come out on top. Never feel sorry for myself. Never ever give up. Repeat until success.
I have been under a lot of pressure recently and a lot of things are hanging in their, and that just really really affects my overall performance

your edit made my comment so much more relevant.

I don’t really think college classes and the CFA exams are particularly comparable. Apples and oranges, my friend. The CFA exam expects you to cover a much wider array of material at each level than one individual college course. However, assuming you had a good undergrad education, I would say it’s a lot easier to pass a CFA exam than score A+'s in classes. CFA exams, while comprehensive and challenging, are not rocket science.

CFA exams, while > comprehensive and challenging, are not rocket > science. i think that without an undergrad education the cfa exams would be ridiculously difficult. its easy to say the cfa exams are easy if you’ve seen the bulk of the content before. undergrad finance, economics and stats classes are not difficult in any manner and the way they test you provides so you can prepare beyond the need. its a matter of easy, equal comparison. take your 6 cfa textbooks and read and learn them by yourself, OR take your 5 course textbooks and let a teacher assist you in your learning. assuming you try hard in 3 of those 5 classes, you only have 3 textbooks to go hard on and you have a teacher to assist you on the things you cannot understand. school is easy, thinking for yourself is a lot more difficult.
Watch the NBA games. Watch KG’s last year’s championship moments. Those emotions will fire u up.
