The most amount of tries...

skylinerzero · February 11, 2009, 4:19pm

Failed the June '08 and Dec '08 exams. Band 8 and 10. I figured I’d do it one more time, maybe 3rd time is the charm. What is the most amount of tries it took you to pass Level 1 and still persisted to get the charter? I guess I’m looking for some motivation and inspiration

I think it should be the ‘most number of tries…’ You’re welcome.

I think it should be “number of tries” since “most number of tries” is redundant. You’re welcome.

I tried Level I once.

I know a CFA charterholder who passed level 2 on the 5th attempt. The other two levels were passed on the first try.

Its superflous. > > Dont mention it bud! It’s not “superflous,” it’s spelled “superfluous.” And I’m not your bud, pal.

“Most number of tries” doesn’t sound proper; it should be “highest/largest number of tries” or “most tries.”
