CFA Level III
#241

There is a band 11? I thought it went 1-10?

#242

It’s a joke commonly used here to refer to a pass which is obviously 1 band above band 10.

#243

Thanks man.

#244

Thanks man

#245

Is 10:45 am too early to imbibe?

My friend spoke to CFA just about 15 minutes ago. CFA is experiencing delays. Another 1 or 2 hours wait according to CFAI.

#250

passed. thank god it is over

#251

Starving… too nervous to go to lunch… would probably vomit whatever I tried to eat… GAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#252

I called too, i know its uesless but I was curious. I confirmed the “7,000 emails stuck” post from earlier. They said their dipshit competent IT department is having issues on the one day they are not suppose to fuck up.

#253

gotta be kidding me… whiskey tango foxtrot, over.

So roughly 25% of the emails are hung up… with the overwhelming “pass” postings on this thread, I do not have the warm and fuzzies about my chances.

#254

Thanks for the update, I’ve been even searching Twitter for any info.

(one of the unlucky 7K)

#255

Oh and the tool on the phone wouldn’t tell me what number of total candidate emails were going out today but he told me the % of people who are in this 7,000 emails stuck… which is about 25%. Guess he isn’t a fan of algebra.

#256

Man this sucks. I just want to know already. I can’t believe there is an “IT” problem.

#258

I’m going from nervous to just really effin pissed. Seriously they have two days a year to get their shit together and they can’t seem to do a simple task like deliver emails? Yes I’m sure there can be issues sending large volumes of email but I am also sure a multitude of ogranizations do it without issue routinely.

#259

does anyone know if the 52% refers to a) all registered candidates, b) candidates who turned up to AM or PM or c) candidates that took both AM and PM?

#260

Agreed. This is absurd
