I couldnt’ focus on the paper 
my mind was blank and i had to read a sentense again and again, i didnt know what i was reading :(( is it because of too much study, couldnt sleep the day b4 exam, too anxiety and the room was too cold. I got > 70 for both sample and mocks but i’m pretty sure i fail this time, painful lesson
RELAX --> Exam …not like you are guaranteed anything for passing this beast, go have a drink…
Many people were in the same boat. There is always next time.

I never get the exam jitters anymore. Didn’t really help

I don’t know if it’s my calculations wrong or something, but did anyone else had trouble matching the answers exact? It seemed like I was always off by some rounding.

Dont do anything stupid… think about your family and people who love you no matter whether you pass/fail. Dont do anything stupid…

Happened to me for that justified leading P/E problem. I thought the formula is 1-b/r-g I plugged in all possible b, r, g and nothing matched
Never ever failed an exam b4 and this make me feel like a looser, another year giving up social life …:(( CFA = more wrinkle, look older, more pimple (due to too much coffee) --> accelerate depreciation for beauty :(( any girl here?
CFA = neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, eye strain, no friends, marital problems, psychological trauma, nightmares of exams, frustration, agitation, weight gain/loss
absolutely aggree

The material certainly boosts your investment knowledge but, the exam sure can make you feel like an idiot.

It’s okay. Girls with knowledge have inner beauty that don’t fade away.
when i was in for in level 1, i thought i was going towards the noblest designation and was proud of myself. after studying for level 2, and taking the exam, i kinda think it’s a fraud again in the financial industry. not that i m bitching, look at the stupid exams, how ON EARTH are they related to investment professionals? random bits here and there, and testing if you have gone thru the textbooks from cover to cover!
I studied like hell for 6 months. Wake Up> Work> Study> Sleep The occasional minute of freedom I have, I whinge. My skin is so dry (too much cafeine), feels like a crocodile. Lost 2 kgs but not a good thing Muscle turned into fat. No gym = flabby arms. And what do I get in return??? I feel dumb and ugly. =( The worse feeling of all…is that I have to do it all again for the same level shortly. All my weaknesses was packaged into a 6 hour exam. It was customised to put me out for sure! CFA god, what did I do wrong? I am so sorry. I now know I should not have used Schweser. Please forgive me and let me pass?
^ A few thousand more feeling similar to you would bring the curve down, and hopefully, would get most of us in PASS territory.
