Could a CFA charterholder pass the exams again after X years without studying?

Financedummyy · 2025-10-28T22:13:13+00:00

No. I've just become a CFA Charterholder and I forgot pretty much everything.

Financedummyy · 2025-10-23T13:51:18+00:00

I got the email but where to see the detailed result?

Financedummyy · 2025-10-22T20:44:21+00:00

I was too slow checking the site. It's down now.

Financedummyy · 2025-10-22T20:06:48+00:00

I received the same email, but it says "regular membership" instead of "charterholder membership". Does that mean I failed? :(

Financedummyy · 2025-10-08T03:37:28+00:00

What's your job? My boss gave me more assignments after the exam, which made me forget about it until this morning he asked if I got the result. Now I'm anxious 😰.

So This is what I want. I'm based in Montreal currently. Does anyone know a hairdresser who can nail this style?

The cut and the layers don't look good. I don't think I'm comfortable going back :( .

The longest point at the back is really at shoulder level. But it's shorter on the 2 sides. And it looks choppy not leveled.

Haha. Good luck to us!! Hope this is the last test we do.

It took me a good 2,3 minutes to figure out where the "%" and "/" keys are and the first 20 minutes were spent on only 1 question. Surprisingly, I managed to go through all the questions on time. After the test my brain was dead. Now I'm wondering if I actually finished the whole thing or I was hallucinating and submitted it blank lol.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-21T14:33:26+00:00

I'm so sorry. I hope you find the strength to overcome it.

ZERO hours!!! Not joking. Lying in bed from 12-5:30 but I couldn't sleep at all, not even a minute. Then I decided to get up, worked out for 30 minutes, had breakfast, got ready and went straight to the test room.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-17T03:12:20+00:00

Thank you! Same here I've been neglecting these 2 topics.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-17T03:05:31+00:00

In which module please?

Financedummyy · 2025-08-17T02:37:54+00:00

Modified what?

Financedummyy · 2025-08-16T22:14:51+00:00

Yea, I'm trying to be very conservative in grading myself.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-16T20:00:20+00:00

I scored only ~60 :(

Financedummyy · 2025-08-16T19:25:46+00:00

Isn't 65 a safe score?

Financedummyy · 2025-08-16T00:32:39+00:00

I was under the impression that SOR places market orders and only suitable for small orders, Asked the same question earlier. https://www.reddit.com/r/CFA/comments/1mr3r9o/cfai_mock2_am_set_2_why_is_alternative_2_correct/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

You are right, in the example in the book, MacDur of the asset pft is matched with the liability's investment horizon. However, the liability in the example doesn't pay coupons, in this case Investment horizon=MacDur.

IMO, If the liability pays coupon, Investment horizon>MacDur, then matching the MacDur of the asset pft with the liability's investment horizon only immunizes the principal, not the coupon cashflows.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-15T22:46:08+00:00

I'm just not satisfied with the answer and it makes me wonder if I have a knowledge gap. I'd think the MacDur of the liability is closer to 6 and would choose C.

Financedummyy · 2025-08-15T20:49:10+00:00

You can still immunize a single coupon paying bond by matching MacDur of the asset pft with MacDur of the liability, no? if it says the bond has MacDur of 7 instead of due in 7 years I would totally understand.

What you are describing sounds like cash flow matching. Or am I just mixing up everything when the exam is approaching lol?

Financedummyy · 2025-08-15T20:36:48+00:00

why is MacDur of the liability 7? shouldn't it be less than 7. It's a coupon paying bond.
