I’m your hijacked thread, skylinerzero.
This happened to a friend of mine. Instead of worrying about what “the most number of tries” is you should probably evaluate whether finance really is where you belong. No to be discouraging as I’m sure many people have taken more than 2x to pass level 1, but dig deep and look at the reasons you did not pass. If your grandmother got kidnapped by Al-Queda the month before the exam, or you got donkey punched in the nards on your way to the test center that “fail” is understandable. BUT… If you studied your a$$ of and still couldn’t muster a pass, I’d assume (especially after two attempts) that their is something more than just the intensity of this test that is at the root of your continued failure. After failing once you have a pretty good idea of what is this exam is all about right? Actually, YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA of what the exam is all about, not to mention a 6 month head start for the next try. So if there were no extenuating circumstances, (where there?) what to you attribute failing twice to? Rigor of the exam? Material covered? Even so, 1 year of studying should suffice to pass Level 1. I am tempted to say that it was a lack of effort due to a lack of interest in finance on your part, which is why I questioned your dedication to the field in the opening. Maybe you can provide some additional info to shed some light on your situation. Hope this Helps -fxguy

Ok, I’m sorry, I’ll be a little more serious. I have a friend who received his charter after failing level 1 twice and level 2 twice. His excuse was work because he was putting in 80 hours a week. If this is your situation, I’d say definitely rewrite. If this isn’t your situation, maybe you could consider an MBA. You might better suit a class environment, especially if you learn better that way. Remember, it’s just a bunch of exams and having a charter doesn’t necessarily speak to your ability to make money. That’s what it’s all about at the end of the day, right?
Definitely this is in the running for most number of tries to get an answer to a simple question. There almost certainly have been people who have tried L1 more than two times and gone on to get the charter. The record of two tries and neither pass is not terribly promising though. A fail on the first attempt can be chalked up to underestating the exam. But not nailing it the second time, when you presumably know what you’re getting into and much of the stuff is presumably review is hard to understand. Maybe you know why you weren’t able to clear that hurdle the second time around. If you think you know what it is, and have a plan to address it, then keep going. If you don’t, you may want to re-evaluate whether this process is for you. Only you can answer that for yourself, though. Good luck.
