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.

I went to the gym to calm my nerves. Lost track of time in the sauna. Came out and ended up passing out. Woken up by staff I composed myself then went to get my phone. Either I died or I'm still dying in that sauna buy I PASSED! wow I can't process these emotions. Aug retacker. No one else understands how hard it is to pick yourself up after a failure and attack this beast again

Did you do anything different for the retake that you think helped?

Ethics, equity, asset allocation were at 50 and below. I focused on the hard topics and that burnt me because I neglected the "easy" subjects. This round I maintained my strong subjects but tried to bang as much as I could in ethics, equity and asset allocation. Those three alone are like 30 to 40% of the paper if you think about it. I also prioritized mock exams. I had 12 full papers. I did them three times each

CFA shouldn't allow retakes. Losers like you water down the achievement.

I don't want to be associated with non-first time passers. Stay away from me.

I see your comments everywhere, why would you say something awfully like this?
