Looking for Last Minute Focus Help

CFA Level I Ethics
#1

Hi Forum,

So odds are I just received a Calendar Invite as I will be one of 3,000 Lay-off casualties at Thomson Reuters come Tuesday.

Any Tips on how to get the Focus back onto the Exam? I felt good going into today but am now finding it difficult to focus. Would really appreciate any insight on how to really just get the mind back on the exam.

Thanks,

Wow. That sucks. Just try to forget about it. Maybe exercise or something. It’s hard and really bad timing. I feel for you.

If you have a target pistol and a silhouette of your boss, you can get some catharsis, perhaps.

Sorry to hear the news.

Here’s an idea: pass the exam tomorrow with flying colors and show them what a blunder they made by putting your name on the list.

If you get laid off and fail the exam, that’s a double whammy. If you get laid off and pass you cut your negative output by half…so pass son, think about how much worse it would be if you failed, that should get you motivated to pass…I think.

That sucks during this time of year.

You can look back at this day as a blessing. Another opportunity is waiting for you. Keep your head up.

i would use it as extra motivation to study harder!!

there are many challenges in life, focus on the ones you have control over - that’s what i learned from my dad!

BEST OF LUCK
