I would make drastic changes to my study strategies if I was in your shoes. If I was reading notes, I would sign up for a lecture class. If I was doing too few exams, I would make mock exams my focus. If I was using a prep provider, I would switch providers. If I was cramming towards the end, I would start the study process sooner. etc., etc. You just have to find what works for you.作者: marsilni 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
I don't want to be critical, but if it takes you three legitimate tries to pass Level 1, the program may not be for you. I say this because Level II and Level III are much more difficult and you could spend an extraordinary amount fo time for not much reward. There are more important things in this world than the CFA. Now, if you goofed off the first couple of times and didn't really try that hard then fine, take it a third time, but if you seriously tried hard both times and failed Level 1 it may be time to reassess things.作者: pacmandefense 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
how can one fail at Band 8 - I thought Band 8 was a sure shot pass - with the top 30% candidates there.
can anyone pls explain...作者: Benjiko 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
Concur with previous post.
Either you find out what's wrong with your study method or you got a long bumpy road ahead of you.作者: nitoha 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
apprec the feedback; kinda what i expected. to all the pessimists out there ive had a few colleguges who failed level 1 2x then passed level 2 first time around when ive seen the complete opposite from first time level 1 passers whom i work with who are now taking level 2 for the 3rd time. all in all its definitely possible. in my eyes, all dependent on the sample given on test day......作者: waldziuchna 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
given enough devotion and time, everyone on this forum is capable of obtaining cfa charter. period.作者: RobertA 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30

I'm a L3 candidate working in finance, and 100% agree with this.
If you gave it your all, and L1 is still giving you so much trouble, you will never make it past L2作者: kmf229 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30

Or they can just cheat and lie about it like your friend....right?作者: MonkeyBusiness 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
I know all about that girl who lied on the resume.
If pasare here manages to barely squeeze by L1, but gets destroyed on level 2.
He could decide to come back to this thread and tell us he passed L3.. anonymous online forum, who would know?作者: dontknow1987 时间: 2011-7-13 13:30
i dont think u shd lose faith. it is all a question of getting 20 or so more questions right. that can happen if one's prep. is on borderline. just make sure you o one step ahead of band 10 next time! 100 hrs of extra prep. and question taking!
