Congrats, did you just get this?

Congrats, did you just get this?

i didnt turn up for the exam last year and didnt get any email, so i gues its c.

I believe that figure relates to ©.

I was surprised how few empty satsuma there were in L 3 compared to L1 and 2.

Yes, just got it… seems like the next “batch” is being disseminated

Just PASSed. There are no marks in the 0 - 50 band in the both sessions.

PASSED!!! 11/18 >70% too!!!

sigh… band 5

2 of AM section in 51-70, rest <=50

2 of PM section <=50, 4 in 51-70, 3 >70

the pm section reflects my effort… and i really don’t think i did that bad for the essay part… i was thinking an average of 50-60% for that… o well…

Some miracle just happened. I didn’t even know we were supposed to receive exam results today… I wasn’t paying attention because I was convinced I had failed. I didn’t even study the last week because I was so discouraged by how poorly I had done on a single practice exam. But yes, somehow I passed. I think it’s well deserved, considering I failed Levels I and II in bands 8 and 10.

Congratulations Mark – you deserve it after last year.

I failed again. I just want to puke. I actually don’t know what I am doing wrong here. last year band 6 and now band 3, when I passed L1 and L2 in one go.

I have put in a massive amount of study hours . The thing I hate the most is that I cannot learn from my mistakes. You do not get any specific feedback from CFA with the results. How is it possible that some of our AF friends can get this in 18 months. Or am I just clueless.
