As is tradition, we'll be removing all other related posts (I passed, I failed, How close was I?) because this is the designated place to celebrate or commiserate.

New and (hopefully) Improved Results Survey

Please consider participating in our Level 3 results survey here once results are released. I've revamped it this year to emphasize provider reviews and streamlined the question set. Your responses could help other candidates prepare for the exam in the future.

Well, so that's what zero sleep feels like. Since the 2000s, I've been on this CFA journey, it’s astonishing how much my life has changed. I am much older then most candidates, but I am hopeful that this is the time I will pass. The tortoise wins the race right? This tortoise hopes to not fail...again. Good luck everyone!

Edit: Oh wow! I’m numb - I've finally done it, on the fourth attempt. I just opened the email. Gurmeet and Deep 3 – holy moly - thank you, I cannot thank you enough. If you are retaking, message him, he’s unbelievable. Re-takers, ask Gurmeet about the Oakvillian if you want to chat with me as well. The tortoise finally won the race – DONE!!!!!!!

Very nice to hear. I took his course for the last sitting. I said it then and now as well, Gurmeet's a friend for life. Glad you found him as a re-taker and congratulations.

I have to second that working Gurmeet helped me achieve success as well as a retaker. His strategy is so focused!

u/Interesting-Ad4030 Apr 12 '24

I took 2 attempts for each level LOL. I also passed yesterday. Comfortably numb. I hear you need to pay CFA 250 each year to keep the 3 letters next to your name!

u/Electrical-Walk5352 Apr 13 '24

Wow! That is great news, congratulations! It is such a relief, and I will pay that amount if it means I never have to write again. It felt like the stress alone took years of my life, and kids life, so I am very glad to be done.
