Just kidding :wink:

Hey Wake, how did you think u did? I didn’t think FSA was bad at all, not after the conversations we had on this board lol

i think i did well once i left the test center, but hanging around this forum is making me second guess myself : ). I still think i passed by a safe margin. Found it to be easier than the mocks and youre right, the FSA section was very easy, but the ethics section threw me for a bit of a loop. My strategy towards the end of my studying i think paid off because i started prepping for those trivial pursuit type questions by going over more theory and working straight from the CFAI books, and a few of the definitional-type questions actually were on the test.

Yea I’m feeling the same, as more and more days go past my emotions keep swinging back and forth from feeling that I passed to feeling that there is no way that I passed lol. This is going to be the longest 2 months of my life… I’m sure u passed tho, u seemed very well prepared. We shall see!
