myself included! it’s summer…get out!
Winter in the Southern Hemisphere
too pale from studying to show my face at the beach haha
At work!
We love CFA
I’ll be off by next week…still winding down…
I’m still obsessed maybe a few more days of question counting. This is what I get for trying to do L2 in two months, well more like 1 1/2 months. Took 150hrs to get back what I knew last time, spent another 150 reading the CFAI and actually taking 30 pages of notes this time. Likely didn’t do enough practice exams, where I did too much the first time and didn’t read enough. Maybe the third time will be the happy medium…what a nightmare. Please let 65% be pass and if they look at my ethics b/c I’m borderline, I confident I’m either 5/6 & 5/6 or 5/6 & 6/6 for both ethics set. L3 will be a enjoyable walk in the park. Dry black and white calculations is not my cup of tea. I’m sure a lot of people who are not into accounting and formulas will feel the same about L2 vs L3.

I would suggest you have a quick look at the L3 forum to see what people are whining about before saying anything like this. Just wait until you have passed that road before speaking too soon
If it was just “black and white calculations” I’m pretty sure I would have gotten 100% on the quantitative material, as I memorized all the formula’s. And your “L3 will be an enjoyable walk in the park” comment, leads me to believe you are crazy.
I know you guys think I’m crazy and I may be so but it should be so much less painful than L2 for me. And yes, I have read the L3 comments on L3 vs. L2. I’m not really built for accounting and all the formulas. I’m more a big picture, client case study, portfolio management person. I like to leave the accounting for CPAs and all the formulas for the quant jocks. And would love to have an essay part to justify why something should be done in a certain way than be forced into A, B or C. My senior PM thinks it would be a cake for me, I’m sure I will still read it and study a lot but the probability of me passing is much much better with less suffering. L2 give me the most problems and will be my personal hardest level. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe L3 is part art, part science and that’s what I enjoy doing and what I do for a career. I’m an intuitive learner and love investment concepts more than do step 1-5, if not 2, do A-C if not 5, shot the accountant…blah blah… The sad part is I feel like I made too many mistakes forgetting calculating steps and some other errors and likely didn’t survive it. Wish I could take L3 first then L2.

rp77 There is some familiar name/face. I am doing OK, I believe. We’ll see in August how it goes, but I am not losing any sleep over it. Hope that you are doing well after all the hard work? Nep-hi Don’t want to spoil your ‘enjoyable walk in the park’, so I think it is best that you’d experience it directly to find out it by yourself 
still counting wrong answers trying to guess MPS and seeking for mutual reassurance. we’re pathetic. )

Maybe you should beef up your reading comprehension my friend.
Nep-hi, please be pleasant.
This is self-irony man. Try to relax a bit. You seem a bit tensed.

Nep-hi, It’s glaringly obvious that you need to take a step back. This is AF, not Oprah. Seems like you have a lot to say and this maybe is not the best venue for your lecturing, as good-natured as you think your message is. I rarely respond to nonsense on these threads, and there is quite a lot of nonsense, but you really need to take a break. I really mean that, with no harm, it’s coming out right through your posts lately that you need a bit of a break. take care.

I really mean that, with no > harm, it’s coming out right through your posts > lately that you need a bit of a break. take care. You’re right, I do need a break. Been doing L2 non stop for 1 1/2 months. Sorry lehman_bro, ok, we are pathetic, maybe I am more, but nobody is seeking mutual assurance. I’m sick of everybody who knows me telling me I will pass, but wondering is a sick game where nobody wins. Figure the board will tell me I failed to confirm what I believe since you all know what a pain this is. Sometimes the place that needs someone to write some Oprah sensitivity for people and a reminder to respect your fellow board CFA posters is the place where nobody wants it. I still think it needs to be written even if no body really cares but at least it’s there if someone wants to read something out of the norm on a topic most people are not comfortable with addressing. Human nature works that way. I’m aware that the majority of my audience is mostly young, high testosterone men, who are very driven and could care less about other people’s life experiences. No surprise there. Over the time I’ve been miscellaneously reading stuff here, on AF, there has been a lot of bad jokes, rude inappropriate sexual things posted about women, Indian people, Chinese peeps and whatever else. I don’t contribute a whole lot about technical questions b/c I’m not an expert as some people are but I like to write at least a few things, if it may even help one person understand others just a little better. Awareness is powerful, some people don’t get exposure on other ethnicities in their typical circle. People all over the world are fascinating. Consider it a subcategory of Ethics in real life applications. If it’s illegal to be sexist, racist or discriminate against people for religion or sexual orientation then it would too be a violation under the Code. A lot of things said on the board if taken to the corporate office could get someone fired or sued. Why have complaints filed against you [which you then have to report to CFAI] or have your career derailed over stupid stuff?? Other people can share if they like to, especially since the board is on stress “break”. If you don’t like my thread slorte [or anybody], don’t read it, if you don’t like my posts, hide me and my nonsense. With the exam over now, I could potentially generate an unlimited amount of your version of my nonsense…hahaha It’s a free world. But thanks for reading anyways.

Nice break from work.
