Anybody fail band 10 twice? right

lxwarr30

I failed band 10 last time.....my exam was better this time around i felt.

Still...for the sake of curiousity...anybody here fail band 10 twice?

Im hoping they take pity on you the second time and pass you.

haha...yeah right

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

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.

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.

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.

(Watch me become the first ....all this trash talking)

Im actually thinking about starting a Msc in Applied Economics in fall....given i pass this time and get my confidence back.

Exactly. You get an MBA and you have to earn the charter.

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...
