Who tries to help?

too many crybabies on the levels forums. If by some miracle they actually passed the exams, they would get destroyed in the real world, which would ironically make passing the exams moot

I go over there twice a year about a week before test time to try to convince people they should stop studying and take it easy. At that point, giving your brain a break is more likely to help you than stressing out and cramming right up until the test.

I think everyone is different. I did the exact opposite (I studied till midnight the day before, all the way up to when they wouldn’t let me have study materials anymore and I had to enter, and while at lunch.

Same here. My philosophy was to never take a day off, even if it meant only studying 10 mins on days I was extremely tired or busy. I believe momentum can be easily lost.

I briefly wonder into the L3 forum and wonder why all these indian guys are worrying about specific questions in January.

^And that’s the kind of person who should NOT be taking the exam.

In the e-mail where they give you the band score, they tell you how to interpret it. Band 10 means you’re in the top 10%, Band 9 means you’re 80-90%, etc.

If a person is unable to understand that, then they are probably not going to survive the CFA exam, because they lack the ability to read and understand what they are reading. And if I tell them that, they tell me “I don’t need a sarcastic jerk. I need somebody to explain it to me!”

I thought I was the only jerk around here?? We have similar concerns.
