You may want to start a meditation (or similar stress reduction) routine now before you get studying again.
It’s easy to just say you’ll take it easy but if you’ve shown a demonstrated track record of letting stress overwhelm you to the point that you can’t perform on the exam, you’ll want to get well ahead of that before you’re inundated with readings and mocks and the like.
I would never ever suggest giving up. And would defo suggest to ignore people who tell you to give up. You have come as far as level 3 and you are giving up. Don’t!!!
All options should be considered. What happens if circumstances have changed and CFA designation wont help one’s current career? Keep rolling the dice to try and pass? What happens if you fail 4 more times? Studying for each level basically ruins 5 months of one’s life.
Not to mention the OP wrote that he studied the most in 2014. If someone is not willing to increase their effort to get over the hump then why bother.
why would he fail 4 more times, is he an idiot? What they teach in cfa is not Rocket science, anyone with a standard brain can manage finishing all levels. Please stop talking like getting the CFA designation is a miraculous thing. This kind of talk make people fail anyways. He should finish what he started whether cfa boosts his career advancement or not.
Sounds like a case study for emotional biases (regret aversion for one)
The guy already failed 3x and is talking about losing motivation. There’s some people who’ve posted here where it took 8x tries to pass all 3 levels. The charter isn’t worth that much time to ME (could be for other people). OP should take an honest look at what the charter would accomplish and proceed from there.
Baklava from UK. Is there’s any Burek as well or Tufahija maybe? LOL!
You gave me an idea, I’ll change my user name to Sarma.
never say die! find encouragement from that 1 woman that said she’d take the treats for the rest of her life of it meant getting CFA on her tombstone
Don’t give up. You have roughly a 50% chance to pass next year.

As many have pointed out, you are so close to knocking this off. Have a strategy and put it down on paper. By now you know the material. It is just working around the curveballs and doing lots of practiec tests, questions and mocks. Do your mocks in stressful conditions and see how you perform.
I have seen people score Band 2 one year and clear the exam the next year. I was band 6 last year and aced the exam this year (with stressful conditions). Don’t give up. Just go at it.
if the guy wanted to quit he would not be here asking people what he should do when he lost the motivation. he would quit it without asking. his being here and asking us what to do means he needs support and probably some ideas of how to get motivated again. have a little empathy.
hey!
I know you have borek (this is how we write it) but did not get Tufahija. what is it?
OP has failed twice and is saying he is losing motivation. Really consider if you want to spend another 6 months on this.

oh ok. no we do not have this but it looks delicious:)
I had the same situation and almost dropped out because I knew the material so well and put so much time into it and was very upset. This year changed my approach and took NYSSA class with Nathan Ronen. He specifically teaches you how to write essays and tells you what you need to do to pass it. He usually tells you to do at least 10 tests, which really improves your scores.
