I know this is slightly off topic, but I felt it was a good place to chat about it. With all the emails CFA Institute sends out and the “rightious” behavior of so many individuals in today’s world, is any one else surprised that more information has not leaked accidently or intentionlly regarding test scores, grading process, strategic goals, and so forth? Then again, maybe this has happened in the past and I am simply not aware of it. Anyway, food for thought.
Spoke with my friend who retook the exam this year, and found out he got the same email last year and failed. So I am not sure if there is any correlation between this email and actual exam results.
I am just playing haha. I was cocky enough to apply early. My application was approved today so all I need is the positive exam result. So that’s why I didn’t get the email.
You can apply to become a CFA Member after passing Level 2. Therefore you’ve been eligible for membership for approximately a year now. Note that being a Member is different than being a Charterholder. Although you may or may not pass level 3 this time around (which dictates whether or not you are eligible to become a Charterholder, and in turn whether or not you can use the CFA letters after your name), being a Member still has its perks in its own right. You can attend all sorts of presentations and networking events. They even send you CFA magazine. I would recommend signing up if these things interest you.
