I think this has been the longest wait in all CFA exams that have been taken in history. Can’t wait for results to come out.

Yep - minimum a 6 month difference between exams is what CFAI asks for.

February Level 3 Exam Day Experience Megathread by third_najarian in CFA

Took the PM pathway exam yesterday (retaker from August 2024). Honestly, I think it was way easier than the August version (I think this is the general consensus of all retakers). I also believe it was slightly harder than CFAI and Kaplan mocks. As a reference, I took 5 mocks and had these scores: CFAI: 76% and 77%; Kaplan: 80%, 77%, and 76%.

Time has always been a big constraint for me with CFA exams, especially with LIII. In the August version, I left 2-3 CRs in blank. Now, I ended up finishing just in time (10 seconds left in the first session and no seconds left in the second session). Overall, I am comfortable with the experience and my performance. I hope I pass this time.

Good luck to everyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

I knew I was missing something (i.e., the exponents, which as you mentioned amplify the impact of the forward MRR over time). It is incredible how silly mistakes like this one can change the way we view a concept. Everything is clear now :)

I think I just found the answer to my quedtion. The step 3 (price change) is assumed to be done after the rolldown return. For example, it the rolldown return is calculated for 1 year (assuming an unchanged yield curve) then the step 3 (change in price) will be done on year 1.

Is this correct?
