I used Uppermark too
Failed - I think i just missed - essay portion crushed me or I had it.
Don’t think i will sit for it again.
Congrats to those who passed.
Passed!! On to the next challange!!
This was my third time doing it. First time I’d say was a slight fail, second time was an abysmal fail and third time I seemed to have aced it.
The first two times, I used Kaplan, then I used Uppermark third time round. With Kaplan I found the questions way too easy but Greg was very good, and with Uppermark they were way tougher than what I got on my exam.
I found the Uppermark lecturer extremely helpful, and to be honest I’d have to give her a serious amount of credit for my pass (Paddy Jalali is her name)
I passed too!! I used Uppermark for both level… the wait was worthy
I studied using Kaplan. Being a CFA Level III candidate also helps; the ethics is a repeat of the CFA and there is certainly some content overlap. Practice exams and questions are key.
Identical path to yourself.
Studywise however, I used uppermark Qbank for the first two sittings and Kaplan for the third. I really like the way Kaplan condenses the material.
The relief!
Likewise, used Kaplan, found it to be very relevant to the test questions.
Only used Kaplan Schweser for both.
Passed on my 3d attempt: first one failed due to MBA (didn’t have time to study), next one - no show (studied with Uppermark and had a terrible flu), third - pass! Thanks to Kaplan (they made a terrific job, Greg is awesome, I answered some questions only because of his very clear explanations) and official curriculum (this main book was great, although sometimes too wordy as Bible)…
For those who failed - keep on trying, you will be there!
I agree with what Aliandr has said, keep trying it is worth it when you get there in the end.
Passed too. Massively relieved. I put the hours in though so failure would have been a disappointment. Well done all who passed. It’s Guinness time.
Passed!
Congrats to all who passed, those who doesnt, dont give up
Failed
i think i did poorly on essays
It hurts
how did you do for essays
did you write alot of paragraphs or short sentences
Pass rate down to 57%.
So angry right now. 1 stronger, 3 highers 1 comparable, 1 lower and 2 weaker.
Retake would require spending time studying ethics and random lists of facts. Funny, I crushed ethics on level one.
The institute got me. Well done.
Curious if you’re considering contesting the results (and if anyone in the past has, what was the result)?
Nothing really contestable. I bombed the construed response and it cost me my charter. I found that entire portion of the test to be a scavenger hunt for random facts or picking the most correct choice.
My anger is that I know the material that counts and having to studying again focusing on articles and ethics is sadly non productive. That said, it is their exam and charter. I played and lost.
Reading those people who fail twice and yet pass in their 3rd time make me feel confident that i will pass, not in September but hopefully in March
i think i did good in the MC but did not like the way essays were asked but we all have to learn from mistakes and we will pass
I was with Kaplan and i will probably try this Greg guy and hopefully everything will be good
I passed using Uppermark.
This proves that one can memorize lots of random facts at the age of 58.
