I have come across many toughest exams ranking lists and CFA is always top 5 consistently I have registered for CFA level one exam and starting to feel like I’m dealing with something special here. Check this list out:

This is a trusted ranking Web system. Any inputs?
4 of them are Indian exams and they can’t even get the logo for the CFA correct? I’d say it’s safe to ignore this list…
This is a gross overstatement of the difficulty of the CFA exams. They can absolutely be difficult, but it’s nowhere near “toughest in the world.”
" Less than one-fifth of the applicants pass each year and most of them attempt for the CFA repeatedly." Okay, sure.
“Every finance and investment professional tries to attempt this test at least once in his lifetime.” They have no proof for this, and I can easily find substantial evidence to the contrary.
"Every CFA charter holder needs to have at least 4 years of prior working experience to be able to hold this prestigious office. " Now it’s an office to hold?
Most of the difficulty claims are based on the pass rates, which don’t necessarily indicate the difficulty of the exam itself.
What a stupid statement.
What’s the difference between trying to attempt this test and merely trying to pass it? Or between trying to attempt this test and merely attempting it? And what about those people who try to attempt it sometime other than in their lifetime?
Sheesh!
And what’s with the Purina logo?
Yeah saw that, some goob lifted the logo from the Victorian Country Fire Authority.
No wonder they gave me a pet food sampler pack when I left the L3 exam.
They probably saw your avatar.
