hard realization

grharmeyer

The fact that i have no chance in hell to clear the exam has hit me now - real hard. At this point i cant get myself to make up my mind to take the test !!!!

I was in your shoes last year. Take the test for the following reasons

a) It will put the fear of god in you so you study your ass off next year and know what to expect

b) Helps with the curve and makes the rest of us look better (trust me - this time next year you will wish the same thing on others in your shoes so it is just the nice guy thing to do!)

the biggest mental block is I have never flunked an exam till now - so its hard to accept it. But i believe thats the case with most of them who fail the exam ....

On fear of God - its already done that !!!!

I graduated cum laude and all that @#$%&.. never failed a thing in my life and failed level 2 last year. It sucks. Write the exam, lick your wounds and your pride after then nail it next year.

yeah cfa_chap. you are doing the nice thing by telling us your story.
it also makes me feel better to know that cum laude's of the worlds are failing the exam, so its okay for a bum like to me to fail.

Dude its odd to say something like " I have never flunked an exam" when you seem to be a quitter

the only exams i flunked were history related to some 400-500 years old lebanese history stories lol .. Level 2 should be proud to be placed next to those exams.

prophets put it in the best .. try to take away whatever you want from it ..

Late Starter, I'm the same as you. I did a little bit of study the first year I took it, figured that I had never failed an exam I studied for, and failed. But it was really good exposure to not only the material, but the format of the exam and for what to expect. Sit the exam, you might be one of the people who guesses correct!
