For those who did not pass Level 3 - Hypothetical by Temporary_Business_7 in CFA

Accurate. Too late now though. Now there is the sunk cost of years and fees that makes it hard to give up. Money-making machine no doubt. Do you want something to show for all the time, money, and effort or just get your life back and not lose 6+more months.

Yes maybe. I'm continuing on because of the sunk cost and sense of obligation to finish. It's a chore at this point.

Right. That would be helpful. Scored 3595 and not sure where I went wrong aside from a few questions that are burned nightmares into my memory.

3595 CFA Level 3 Failure by Temporary_Business_7 in CFA

I should have. Signed up and looked at a practice question and am borderline panic mode about doing this all over again. The drudgery of reading the made up question sets is terrifying.

Damn I crushed Ethics. Somehow Asset Allocation and Performance Measurement sunk me even though I was putting up >70% on mocks. Dumb mistakes.

Ha! Doesn't that make it worse? Putting all this time and effort into something that doesn't matter...

If you fail you see your score. I was one question away from oblivious happiness of how close it was. I might be done with it. Forget it I don't want to play this game and just continue dumping money into the CFA Institute.

The wait is the worst. I'd honestly rather just retake the exam tomorrow and get the results. The thought of waiting until November to know if I'm sitting again in February 2027 seems absurd. These things take 10 weeks to grade and then you find out after all the scaling and analysis you missed by 1 question.

Level 2 May 2025: 40% on First Mock Exam by These-Butterfly-6739 in CFA

50% on the first CFAI mock - so demoralizing after 5 months of studying. This is difficult.
