I think I have a very good chance hitting band 10 this time
it must be very depressing and heartbreaking, can't imagine someone endured that twice.作者: thisisbrianly 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
I failed band 10 last time...i too felt I did better this time but I could possibly do it again. I've found about 30 questions that i KNOW i got wrong...作者: kd26gioi 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
I failed band 10 last time, hopefully passed this time around....fingers crossed.作者: Siddimaula 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
billbelemy22, how are you so sure that you have got 30 of them wrong? How about discussing them offline? Are you interested?作者: Micholien 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
Because I had trouble with about 50 questions, I know i got 30 of them wrong (i memorized the questions and looked up the answers) and I know i got the other 20 of them correct.
I have a margin of 42 questions to pass with a 70 - praying over here.作者: eagles_dare13 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
What would really suck would to have been a band 10 last time and to have done worse this time around.作者: agulani 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11

Yeah....that would be the worst
Has anyone ever done that? I think id f*king die作者: spartanag07 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
I was a band 10 last time and feel ok this time, but I'm still worried. I wanted to come out of it feeling like I KNOW I passed, but I still have some doubts. I do feel like I did better this time, and I did much better on the mocks this time, so hopefully I pushed through. I felt like I knew most of the material, but there were a lot of questions where I only felt about 70% confident...a lot of tricky questions, especially in Economics. Last time I nailed Econ and felt like it was one of the easier sections of the curriculum, but I found it to be tricky this time on the test.作者: ramzes 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11

I might be in that boat...its so frustrating IDK what I'll do if i fail again especially since I Band 10d last time...作者: draz 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
I failed band 10 in December. Like others said, I felt much better this time around. I've been trying to keep my mind on other things though because some days I'll feel great and feel like I passed the test and then other's I think, "I know I failed." I hate being a quitter, but if I don't pass this time around, then oh well, that's it for me. Only time will tell.作者: dotamasta 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
pardon my ignorance. what is band 10?.作者: lc26mizzou 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
If you fail they let u know how badly...band 10 means not badly at all...try again...and band 1 means ur a fool for even trying the CFA作者: Daniel1985 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
Ouch...Twice in Band 10 will surely be heartache.....Can't imagine the frustration...作者: leadcfa 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
I failed Band 10 in december, and if i fail band 10 again, i will attempt level I one more time in december 2009 before forgetting about for a few years and getting an MBA first...作者: dcfox83 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
Exactly. You get an MBA and you have to earn the charter.作者: siavosh 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
Im actually thinking about starting a Msc in Applied Economics in fall....given i pass this time and get my confidence back.作者: Jolyn 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
Btw...it looks like not only has nobody failed band 10 twice...after getting a band 10 nobody seems to have failed the second time at all. Can this be correct? Logically i guess it adds up. Band 10 means ur borderline...another 4 months of prep should put u over the edge.

I know of a person I just took the test with that was taking it for the third time, so he failed twice but was not a band 10 the previous time.作者: JPSem 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
yea i can see if you're not a band 10 any times but I mean da*mn i was Band 10 in dec and did another solid 200hrs of study, was passing all the schwesser stuff (85s QBANk, 75s on their mocks, and got a 72 on the CFAI mock test...I got 31/36 on the CFAI ethics quiz in the book the thursday before the exam...
that was compared to 60s on everything the first tiem when I band 10d...for some reason though i feel like another band 10 is very possible. who knows.
fortunately, ive kinda put the exam out of my mind for now. Nothing I can do until the 28th.
My plan is to start the second week in september if i fail again.作者: dmar 时间: 2011-7-13 13:11
i believe the december test was the first that reported the bands, it's a fairly new development.作者: soddy1979 时间: 2011-7-13 13:12

aaahhh...did not know that
thats that then作者: eagles_dare13 时间: 2011-7-13 13:12
June 09 was the first time they used the bands
I failed band 9 in Dec but went into this one with 90s on CFAI exams and high 70s to low 80s on QBANK...definitely an improvement on my scores going into the Dec exam
but i'm still nervous
it'll be a good feeling to (hopefully) have that pass in hand on the 28th
