CFA on the first attempt.

CFA General
#1

What does it mean when one says “I’ve cleared all the CFA levels at the first attempt”? Does it mean June-December-June or can it be June-June-June?

#2

It can mean June16, June17 and June22. It simply means no fails.

#3

No fails.

Also, it is December-June-June. Only level 1 is offered in both June and December.

#4

That’s not a very impressive achievement nowadays. All the nerdy Asian kids pass on the first try. As am employer, I would be far more impressed if you complete one of these new age challenges:

  1. Drink a large Gatorade and complete all six hours of the test without a pee break.

  2. Successfully copy the answers of at least three other candidates without getting caught by the proctor.

  3. Put a thumbtack on your chair and complete the whole exam “hovering” over your seat. Studies show that the #1 predictor of employee success is their dedication to leg day.

#5

Based on my observations of various peoples’ leg development at the gym, passing your #3 criterion would eliminate most of the nerdy Asians from your employment candidate pool. Not all of those guys can be Hidetada Yamagishi and go 3/3 on the CFA.

#6

Either.

Why do you care?

I predict you probably won’t pass on first attempts…considering you don’t even know when the exams are offered.
