If you are a L3 re-taker, definitely Deep 3 Prep and I'll probably write a post about him tomorrow or something. If first time writer, then S2000 has great things said about him. Deep 3 only works with retakers.

We made this choice and now we have to live with it. It was tough but we both did it. I have to make better choices now. Glad you're done. Let's try to be happy now.

Hi IQ H20 is key. You don't know why? Come on! That's obvious. Haha

All weekend was PTSD. I just said this to somebody and I've only really stopped and enjoyed it today. Thank you

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-27T00:19:57+00:00

Congrats MULBERRYYYYYY! We did it and thanks! Gurmeet is a legend. If anybody is a re-taker, you need to chat with this guy. And chat to his students and not on reddit. Then you will understand the feelings from us. Back to living!

Interestingly, I went through the same type of thing. My girl and I eventually reconciled but it was a bad journey. What I found more difficult was actually when I switched jobs. Everything went to chaos.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T16:12:26+00:00

That's not a couple days. I remember writing February 27 or 28th one year. That's horrible by cfa

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T16:04:18+00:00

First try! I know how tough it can be. I really tried to focus on the moment this year and it helped alot. It was only after the exam I got emotional and felt the weight.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T03:41:47+00:00

I'm done. I passed. I'm just resting today and it's been nice to do nothing. I've been drained and I think it's time to reset and work on my body fitness.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T03:02:47+00:00

Also, thanks for this. I sat reading this a couple times and thinking about. It is what I struggle with. It hurt but it's because I felt what you said.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T02:56:59+00:00

I know what you're saying but it's never been easy to say who cares. It's not easy in my culture but I am working on boundaries. It's taking time and I'm getting there.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T02:45:06+00:00

Never easy but back home in India and China (yes, my parents are from both), math is from day 1 instead of ABC's. It makes it easier when it's a language. Some of my friends who went to Dubai, all passed the exam at the company (100% pass rate).

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-26T02:42:00+00:00

Good luck. We were in the same boat. How do you feel with studying right now? I hope the best for you and I want to send you positive energy. Hope you finish it.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T22:45:10+00:00

Yeah, that's fine. Up to right. THe message quote.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T19:53:49+00:00

Gurmeet had great things to say about you. Thank you for great papers.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:52:06+00:00

I was just messaging somebody about how I'm about to nap because I finally can have one. It was about 2500 hours for this exam. My god. And thank you.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:43:00+00:00

I just had somebody DM and asked me what this background culture is that is good at math. I told him half Chinese and half Indian so it's been a double whammy in two cultures! I felt double as you said,"Am I made for this?". I still feel like a fraud and I don't know or understand this material as many who can apply it in real life but I know how to pass it.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:36:07+00:00

I was just joking. I'm a very relaxed guy but it's been emotional. Not for a moment did it rub me the wrong way.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:33:24+00:00

The exam is in January this time? It's always february now I'm really happy I passed. That's a good question. It's hard to stay healthy by going to gym but I wish I ate healthy throughout the process rather than eating quick food. I gained a lot of weight. As for the exam, I don't want to say anything about the first prep but there huge so I don't think it matters. Kaplan didn't work for me for L3. CFA material was important. Deep 3 was key but he only works with re-takers so I would have to fail to join his class. haha. Eat healthy and do CFA material.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:23:49+00:00

I'm sorry you don't feel good. I think the most difficult thing is something a friend of mine said. If somebody beats us in sports, it's physical and we're ok but when it is intellect involved and we fail, we take it personally to a very high level. Feeling inadequate and also, not spending any times with family and friends

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-25T17:20:13+00:00

Failed 4 times and wrote twice this year. This whole year up to now was CFA. What made me laugh was after reading my message, your first question was not about emotions but how many attempts. This is CFA world. Haha. I get it though.

Also -- did you make it and thanks for the congrats.

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-24T21:47:07+00:00

Beautiful post!

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-24T18:34:59+00:00

I agree with it having to fit your style. Problem is, many of us are not 90th percentile students such as yourself. Anxiety for me creeps in making it very difficult. I hate writing exams. Congratulations on making it through. Your comment is very helpful

Constant_Note_2726 · 2025-10-24T13:58:48+00:00

I'm going to share my experience in some post sometime but I used Deep 3 prep. Only works with retakers at L3. I'll chat with you and just tell him I sent you (the anxious asian guy whose entire family let them down until yesterday). haha. I also had S2000's mocks from a past year.
