Yes, I also failed. It felt so bad. Like most people out there even attempting the CFA, I'm ambitious and not used to failing.

Schweser is way too focused calculations and the December exam was easy. I should have completely killed it - I didn't pay attention to the basics.

Also been through this a few times and agree with Liquid on everything...EXCEPT his test day anxiety statement.

For me at least, test day anxiety is brutal and very hard to prep for...its not BS, its real.I remember watching the tests being passed out and thinking "all this work and sacrifice for this little booklet...this is it...the payoff for months of sacrifice and stress". It's a big deal.

The bigger thing is to recognize that you most likely will have anxiety...expect it....recognize it early and alleviate it as best you can...but be prepared for it.

For me..when the panic set in on a topic (that i knew or not). I stopped, took a breath, looked up to the roof, stretched my neck, said to myself "you f'ng know this" and smiled. I laughed at it as a way to reduce stress and proceeded.

You have put in the work...the battle is won in march, april and may....not june.

Good luck...stay the course...have a beer this afternoon
