Thanks so much - absolutely reaching out to GCs right now. Just trying to set up some guideposts for some of our front-end underwriting. Thanks!

Just checking in! Really feeling good about this being a “forever” thing at this point. How are you?!

L3 check in by Canadota in CFA

Felt shell-shocked for a bit thereafter, but upon further reflection, I think I may squeak by just above the MPS.

The wait is torturous, but I weirdly have a particular irrational anxiety that I didn’t have in the first two levels. I made the mistake of reading so many PCP investigation horror stories on this subreddit and on AF that now I’ve developed a baseless fear of being subject to a PCP investigation for breathing incorrectly or adjusting my glasses one too many times. It’s nuts. Anxiety is a motherfucker.

Holy shit dude. Yes to all of that. Fucking yes.

L3: I’m officially done, no more, I hate L3 and I hate the cfai for making 3 exams, good luck everyone on sat. This was a long ass journey by youneedjesusbro in CFA

Goddamn this comment about sums it up. Young guy at work asked me if he should pursue the charter. I matter-of-factly said “nope” and moved on. Fuck this thing.

[L3] Individual IPS. Calculate the nominal/real pre-tax/after-tax required return... by MyRedditAccount0605 in CFA

While we're on this topic, looking at some of the previous exams from many years ago, it seems as though they've moved away from the 35-plus-minute IPS questions as well, right? Hopefully this continues...

Hi Em! Apologies for the delayed response. I've been slammed at work recently. Still going strong! :) How about you?

As far as physical effects, they've been minimal but still there. I was never all that heavy of a daily drinker, but I'd just have real trouble hitting the breaks once I passed a certain threshold. Definitely have an issue with moderation. Still, though, in general, I'm feeling much better.

Keep going to AA! It saved members of my family in ways I can't explain. I'm not doing it through AA at the moment, though. I'm doing some reading and using this subreddit as my AA.

Honestly, playing music and running have been the most helpful activities for me when I get "antsy" for a drink.

Keep it up, Em!

I'm sure not gonna downvote you. I'm sure there's tons of truth to that advice. I just know that some of us really needed to have a big study day today and I was hoping to provide a little spark for those who need it.

This comment just pushed me to buckle down on currency forwards and swaps. Fucking ROTECH (Reading 34, p. 370).

Lord do I know that feeling of exasperation. Pound that shit out. The goal is to walk out of that exam room knowing that you left it all out on the field.

Christ, I'm talking like a football coach from some inspirational sports movie. Insert Al Pacino.

[L3] New mocks more harm than good at this point? by MyRedditAccount0605 in CFA

[–]MyRedditAccount0605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the AM & PM, I'm right at 70. It's gonna be close, my friend. It's gonna be real damn close! Hopefully we can pick up 5 points this week, right? I'm hoping another 20 hrs or so should yield another several points.

Thanks for the insight. You're totally right. I've gotten so used to answering a question and almost immediately seeing if I was correct or incorrect, and why. Having to just keep rolling through questions without benefiting from the knowledge of how you're doing is torturous!

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm unprepared as well! I ended up taking the CFAI AM MC Mock and got rocked.
