Exam Takers - Non-Finance Background how many? technical, background, studying, struggled

cmacedo

I am curious to know how many of you who took exam in December (last week) are from Non-Finance background and doing the CFA as a passion or for a carrer change?

I am from a technical background and working as a Senior Web Developer and I am in 30's and own a small business and an active investor in stock market enrolled in CFA program because I want to learn more about in finance.
I started studying around six months before the exam and did it very seriously. Initially i struggled a lot in economics and quants sections because of non-finance or accounting background. However i was comfortable in Equity, portfolio management and derivatives and alternative sections because i was a active reader in stock options and stock market for last 3 years.

I am feeling confident but very nervous about my results and hoping to pass (I spent huge amount of time in studying for the exam)

Good luck all!!!.
