Has anyone been around longer than me?
2003 Level 1 failed
2008 Level 1 pass
2009 Level 2 failed
2015 Level 2 pass
2016 Level 3 failed
2017 Level 3 failed
2018 Level 3??? pray for me. I need help. lol
I passed Level 1 on my first try, failed Level 2 three times, passed Level 3 on first try. Showing up to take Level 2 for four consecutive years was very difficult. I think you probably know where your weaknesses are; focus on them. Practice, stay disciplined, and don’t be a quitter. I’d also suggest meditating everyday, too. With practice, you can better control your emotions and anxieties come exam day. Good luck!
I know a jabroni that will be taking level 3 for the 8th time next year
I know someone who started pre-2000, without taking any breaks. Unfortunately that same person just failed L3, again (for the sixth time).

That sounds too unbelievable to me. Did he only study for 2 days before the exam? I really can’t imagine a person with normal IQ and reasonable effort failing to pass three levels in more than 15 years.
This is like me trying to be the first Asian male pornstar in the all time hall of fame. Sometimes, you need to know when enough is enough.
Mabe this will inspire you to stay strong.

whats up with the 2003 - 2008 gap and 2009 - 2015 gap? you must have had to study a lot for L2 in 2015 after passing L1 so long ago in 2008…
Maybe this will inspire you to stay strong. 
Yeah the gaps make it not so bad imagine taking level 3 8 times in a row
passing level 2 in 2015 was impressive… you are definetly capable of passing number 3 but have to put in the hours
Failed in 2016 and 2017 (just now) for L3 too. Third time again. Hit me up!
Passing CFA exam is like graduating undergrad. You think it is tough until you went for masters
I’ve been married since 2003. That’s quite same…
Not understanding this. If CFA is easy, then what was hard?
Probably the most important and untalked about issue on this forum.
I bet marriage is more work than a PhD.
Not in a fully negative way or anything.
lol
hahahaha!!!
This must be a new low for a charterholder.
