does anyhone know if CFAI will alow L3 posponement due to emergency? I broke my hand and going in for an operation on thursday and will have no use of my writting hand for 6-8 weeks!
I don’t have any special knowledge regarding this but I’m guessing your screwed in terms of postponing your exam anytime prior to June 2017. Maybe they will refund you but if I had to guess, I’d guess that won’t happen either.
When I read this my first thought was how do they know you broke the hand you write with. They might have a similar thought among other things…Start practing with your left (right) hand?
I remember reading the policies on the CFAI website recently and it stated that there would be no postponement or whatever allowed, even for medical emergencies. So I’m pretty sure you’re shit out of luck…what an awful time to break your hand, I feel for you!
If I can find the relieve at link a bit later I’ll post it for you here.
No postponement. The only exception I’ve ever heard of was military
Could always strap the pen to your hand…
Bro pop some oxys and gut it out. Write with your teeth if you have to. Itera took his exam blindfolded and got >70 in all.
E-mail CFA Institute and ask them.
Our opinions are worthless.
how the hell did you break it?
i lived in a bubble in isolation the last monh before the test
I wonder if an injury like that is covered under some disability law (like the ADA in the states) where they would have to be at least somewhat accomodating? Otherwise, learn how to write as short as possible with your other hand
I have heard a story that another person had a similar situation, and CFAI told them, “Don’t you have another hand you can write with?”
(This story was on the internet, so you can rest assured that it’s true. You can’t post anything on the internet that’s not true.)
agreed. i’m sure there was a blind guy who passed a few years back. disability laws trump all the cfai stuff, so I’m sure they can accomodate your needs somehow.
How did you break your hand?

Yeah I heard this story too. Can’t find it though, the guy spent the last few weeks learning to write with his other hand for L3.
Break your other hand and email them after, the two hand brokens scenario is worse .
what was the outcome btw?
