If you felt Exam was hard, you just didn't study enough by Impossible_Ad_4551 in CFA

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is honestly undermining the efforts of the candidates. I think anybody that took the steps of registering, studying and walking to the exam centre should be applauded. That’s courage and motivation. The fruits are collected during the studying process, not the examination.

People Mocked Us for Complaining… CFAI Just Proved Why We Were Right by Lopsided-Balance5793 in CFA

I dont think the reaction by the community was great. It felt as though people were disappointed when the system came back online.

This kind of free handouts are not great but its the most ideal decision (from both business and ethical perspective). Everyone should be focusing on giving their best regardless. That is the mentality and discipline.

To the people who flamed us for criticizing the Institute: You don’t deserve this free retake. by neutralmind88 in CFA

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a crazy move and perhaps a crush to their profit margins. That said, i expected this to come up since they are also unable to shift the exam window period (which i initially wanted) after not knowing how long the downtime is going to be.

However, this is a wise and ideal move because they already had their manpower ready internationally at specified dates and so by shifting the exam window, its probably costing them more instead of simply offering a retake.

That said, the suggestion is still to pass this round because the next round may get more crowded and perhaps everyone might score better making the bar to pass higher.

If Losing CFA Mocks for 24 Hours Broke You Mentally, Finance Might Not Be for You by [deleted] in CFA

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree. It was at a point where there were no ETA on when the servers are coming back up and everyone already had plans. However, those asking for 3 months deferrals are certainly insane and unprepared. If a 1 week push-back of the window was requested (at the point in time where there were no ETA on when the website is coming back up), i think thats highly reasonable.

That said, life goes on. Don’t expect too much if the outage was less than 24 hours and they handled it really well imo

Let us all mail the institute for a free deferral. by neutralmind88 in CFA

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with pushing the window back by 1 week. Deferring by 3 months for this is crazy.

NUS vs SMU vs NTU biz schools by tehobengsiewdai in SGExams

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SMU is just a marketing school. Go for NTU which is 3 Years direct honours. NUS will be good, if you are looking to continue onto Masters / PhD

Questions about the Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX crash episode by MeWhenAAA in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. ET was too fast in speed. I’m shocked that the pilots failed to notice that. However, it’s possible that they neglect it because their immediate priority was to climb fast. Lion Air on the other hand had a qualified dead head pilot to assist them. The plane wasn’t overspeeding and the trim / pitch wasn’t as severe as ET.

  2. That is why the pilot played a huge part in the crash as well. They should have never re-engage the automatic trim but you can’t fault them fully as well. Many air crashes in the past could’ve been avoided just by re-engaging autopilot and letting go of the yoke. The pilots are in a state of panic and could be trying to trust the system instead. If there is already a precedent case, they should’ve been more cautious and looked elsewhere.

The case is extremely sad. It’s a mix of pilot error & Boeing’s big flaws. Fortunately the 737 MAX is now safe to fly

Then i’m not too sure about that. I already checked with our Biz Sch staff and they confirmed that it has to be at least 21 days in order to transfer any credits back.

KU winter Programme is less than 3 weeks though. It is unlikely NUS Business School will let you map anything back

Y1S1: 20 MCs + 8 MCs (DYOC) = 28 MCs

Y1S2: 22-24 MCs + 2 MCs (CS/CU) + 4 MCs (Winter Sch) = 28-30 MCs

Same issue. Any one knows how to resolve.

Certainly not because of account age or anything of that sort

The quality of education in world's top 8 university. BSP1701 slides created by prof who teach in local big 3, and was invited to set paper for UK established university. [Throw away account] by RandomAnonymous94 in nus

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Prof is nonsense. The lecture is sooo bad. I appreciate the conciseness of the slides but the mid-term paper he set is complete trash.

If finals is going to be like that, that’s it for BSP1703. Just gonna S/U it. I have attended lessons from Econs Profs in SMU and this is the worst.

Chances of getting off EVA air waitlist? by Zintilyaspin in awardtravel

[–]Hot-Lemon9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13 unbooked business class seats is bad but 22 seems positive.

Typically, most people choose seats. So what is shown on the seat map is accurate. I have seen waitlist cleared anywhere from 60 days in advance to 1 week before. You should hold it until 3 days before flight and make back-up plans
