The whole point of CFA isn’t just to get a piece of paper that says “hey you’re a charterholder”.  It’s about the journey, not about the outcome.  If you ran a marathon next weekend without any training, would it be fair to say that you are in awesome shape?  No!  If you took CFA without delving into the curriculum and really trying to understand and grasp ALL the material - are you really deserving of this designation?  Probably not.  People that try to cheat the system usually fail.  That’s why the test is designed as it is.  If you skip a section with the intent and hope that you get 6/6 on another section - pretty risky strategy.  Especially since there are thousands of pages of reading.
