happy almost b-day JDV!
27
I’m 37. And awesome.
I am 43 which makes me even more awesome. Your 40’s are way underrated.
Usually I rarely post here. But could not resist to login to say… ‘Happy B’day Joey’! Regards,Raky
I can’t wait til I turn 40!!! only 15 years to go…
Kudos to those candidates over 35. It is a bear to tackle this test no matter what age you are, but the older you get the harder it is to get back into study mode. I thought I was one of the older posters at 30, but clearly I was mistaken. There was an older gent taken the BSAS practice exam this year who was definitely 60+…impressive!

is it me, or did the group look really young at the exam. I’m 23 and I thought that most everyone looked my age, not more than 2 or 3 years older, besides those who are visibily older, maybe thats a north american trend - that most people writing in toronto are university grads? just a thought.
Sample’s also heavily skewed by increased propensity of younger individuals to use a forum like AF.
3X here… X varies from day to day…

My technique is to drink a lot of wine since this kills off my weaker brain cells leaving only the fittest to survive. It’s a Darwin sort of thing. Try it.

I’m 49, and will hit 50 just before results day. The guy in front of me is a good friend, and he’s older than me. So our section probably had the geezer award tied up.
- The person sitting beside me during the test was 5 years younger.
22!

over 40 but (much) younger than JDV bet I’m the one of the oldest women on this board!
i’m so old that when I was born… - DJIA was 674 - crude oil was $2.80 a barrell - median US house price was $12.000 (or $58,000 in 2000 dollars) - gold was $35 /oz any guesses?
