Order a wall frame for my charter… lol
I feel pretty good about my chances of passing (definitely not 100% because you never know)… I walked into the exam feeling confident because of my high mock/past exam scores (in the mid 80’s). Walked out a little shaken but still somewhat confident. Was hoping to walk out of there with a better feeling, but it is what it is.
I so want this ordeal to be over that I am in the process of getting my references and experience together to apply for the charter as soon as, god willing, I get my pass email. I am hoping to get ahead of the lineup and get my application processed sooner than later. I will get an “official” frame from framingsuccess.com (with the custom embossed new CFAI logo on the mat).
Anyways, I can’t stop thinking about the exam and feel like I need to be doing something with my time… The void left by my lack of studying is driving me nuts…
Overconfidence bias much?作者: AndyNZ 时间: 2013-8-9 09:55
Nah … I would do the same, unfortunately I’m gonna need more work experience before I can get the charter. I got my BA and MSc framed with no expense spared, cuz they’re once in a lifetime things just like this CFA.
Where’d you find out about this “framing success official charter frames”? The frames are custom made to fit the charter’s dimensions? They’re officially endorsed by CFAI? Can you get that ultraclear anti-reflective glass? And finally, do they frame it or send you the materials to frame yourself?
Go for it.作者: tikfed 时间: 2013-8-9 09:55
Go for it.
Worst case, you will use it the next year (or the year after that. Or put it up on eBay with a sob story for a better price.)作者: luda002 时间: 2013-8-9 09:55
I don’t understand why you would buy a frame at this point. Unless you know of a once-in-a-lifetime sale on CFA charter frames, there is absolutely no benefit.
Edit: Also, that frame is 28x23 inches? Holy shit.作者: bbtomato 时间: 2013-8-9 09:55
Wouldn’t it be funny if you ordered the frame and passed, but then you got the certificate and they changed the size?作者: Roflnadal 时间: 2013-8-9 09:56
lol… Yes it’s a pretty huge frame - it’s the largest size that framing success offers for a frame… I think I will need a bigger office…
You’re right, there is no real value to ordering it now (although there is a 3-week processing time before it’s shipped out). That being said, I’m not sure how long it takes to get the charter after applying for it… Just feeling the need to do concurrent activity.作者: Analyze_This 时间: 2013-8-9 09:56
Do people still frame these?作者: ASSet_MANagemen 时间: 2013-8-9 09:56
I would except for the fact that others in my office dont. So I’d feel out of place. I might hang it over my bed though作者: ninja1024 时间: 2013-8-9 09:56
Peer pressure much Andy?作者: dreampak 时间: 2013-8-9 09:56
Even when you find out that you passed in late August, you won’t get your charter until closer to the end of the year. So you still have plenty of time post-confirm to invest in some fine mahogany.作者: bchadwick 时间: 2013-8-9 09:57
Yes, I mean the enormous sheet of paper.作者: BC_MBA_student 时间: 2013-8-9 09:57
A guy that works on my floor walked out of 2011-L3 feeling like he owned the world. He passed L1 & L2 on his first try (Dec 09, Jun 10). He thought the exam was reasonable and had one hour left over in both sessions. He was also scoring super high on his mocks. Honestly, he’s a standup guy but was definitely acting a little cocky. He failed band 5 that year and retook/passed in 2012. He was much more humble about the exam the 2nd time around.
Another guy at my company had become famous for failing L2 4 times and passing on his 5th try. He took L3 in 2010 and I remember he was sweating it as soon as he left the test center. He ran out of time in the morning and didn’t finish one whole problem and only half of another. He (along with everyone else) assumed he failed but he ended up passing.作者: canadiananalyst 时间: 2013-8-9 09:57
Wait, so the charter is only 17x22? The way everyone talks about it on here, I thought it would be at least like 24x36 or something.
