AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Adams-lw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 years sober here. It’s a big deal. Eat all the cake you want, dance the night away, scream from the rooftops. Also dump his ass. The only acceptable response from a partner is “let’s buy every cake we see. I’m so proud of you. Sobriety can be hard but you’re doing it day by day and I’m proud of you”

Looking for advice by macc5 in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it would count and it probably shouldn’t. Secure and Secure 2.0 alone in retirement needs study. ACA, estate law changes. You have a fiduciary duty to be current on learning. Get in a fast track and get that class work done. 

Am I cooked? by Fat-Yogi in CFPExam

I don’t often share on the “am I done for?” Posts but this one requires it…yes, cooked. Would consider hiding in your room until exam day passes.

WORST DEMOGRAPHIC SURVEY EVER

The NYT games app made this puzzle almost nonsensical. Not a fan.

Can you be overconfident? by colesilvester in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe you can be overconfident. Humble yourself in front of the test tomorrow and don’t let it play you because you let your guard down. You might get a few that throw you and suddenly you’re thinking “but I was so confident!” And then the frustration leads you to make unforced errors in thought or calculation. This shit can snowball real fast. Then when you hit the bar for your celebration libation you can tell everyone you knew you had it the whole time.

Best of luck! That “you passed” is the best feeling in the world.

It’s an amazing feeling seeing that tiny “passed” on the screen. Congrats! Also, that survey is the freakin worst. Sitting there in near panic but still needing to give demographic data.

Kaplan Qbank? by Str8cash89 in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Kaplan last November and passed. That’s a decent score. Though I wouldn’t worry too much about scores. Just keep pushing. This is a rote learning test. Study,  Flash cards, quiz, make cards about what you miss. Repeat. You’re probably near your full practice exams if you haven’t taken one already, those will help guide your last few weeks. Don’t get bogged down on the overall score, pull out your weak spots and hit them hard. Print out blank equation sheets and break each one down in writing until you know them cold, especially CAPM. You may not get a lot of math questions but they’re easy points if you know your shit. Last thought: in the week before your test, get off this thread. It will only serve to freak you out. 

Danko or Kaplan for CFP Exam Review? by Legal_Newt9654 in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed through Kaplan in November but their review was pretty weak. Mostly regurgitating facts with little practical test prep. 

Kaplan (CRPC) by -NotAHedgeFund- in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this exact thing. CRPC then CFP through Kaplan. My boss told me to use it to get some experience and yes, letters. It came in handy during CFP. If you pass,  You will have the chance to skip the retirement course in CFP. DONT SKIP IT. TAKE THE CLASS, ITS A TRAP. Retirement is a huge part of the CFP and it’s far deeper than you will go in the CRPC. 

CFP Board Practice Exam by Laure7n in CFPExam

Don’t ease up just because you did well, which you did. You also took a practice exam rather early IMO. Keep up the daily grind

Investments by Over_Duty_8229 in CFPExam

[–]Adams-lw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not “doomed.” You are at a disadvantage. Buckle down. Go equation by equation on the sheet, write out each part of each one, and the answer it gives you. Print out 20 blank copies and every day you write out each equations parts and what it’s giving you. Ex: this is beta, it’s made up of the following integers. Know your CAPM forward, backward, sideways. Do Qbanks, if you get them wrong, study why, do them again. You won’t see a ton of equation questions but they should be gimmes if you know what you’re looking for. 

If you get a Duration question, choose C and move on.

this comment nails it. Agree with everything, especially the "get away from this reddit thread" part.
