I had my first CFA exam. During the break I met and talked with some people and my general opinion is that many peoploe just do not take this exam seriously. I mean I spoke with people doing it for 2nd 3rd time flying over from Turkey or Midd East to italy for the exam. Well, many have payed it by its companies and neither them nor their companies obviously care about the results.
I myself will probably fail but only due to lack of time to prepare, but as I am financing it I am sure i will do it much better next time.
throughout my academic career i have observed that 50-60% of students are not serious about their exams( be it be any exams) so passing an exam isnt a big deal unless its a highly technical exam requiring a superior iq like actuarial exams or when u have a full time job that doesnt give u many hours to study
The CFA exams are simply no joke compared to almost any standard test. Has to be the scope. I know attorneys that are charterholders. They claim the bar is a breeze in comparison. Anybody know any charterholder MDs? Would be interesting to know what they think. Completely different type of aptitude, but I would think even they would considered it a beast, or possibly especially them…
