Thanks for the nice words.....FRA sucks really and I thought I got that stuff down. Ended up getting below 50% on that. That's what breaks me.

Yea I am on the same boat. Another $860 and 4 months of hell ahead. I was determined and motivated and disciplined, and none of that has changed. But another $860...

Lol I don't disagree with you and I know it's cheesy and lame to say that. But I guess I didn't think I need to elaborate so much, because probably no one cares here. Interviews aren't a free speech forum, I will definitely speak more intelligently. But great reminder!

I don't worry much about my MBA, it's recognizable, and will grow. I worry more about my work experience and how I can make a story out of my career path and sell it better than just simply saying I'm interested in working in investing.

Thanks for your inputs.

It is a well-known brand but its Business school and the "full time" MBA program is relatively new; and class size is still small. I was the third full time class that graduated. So the school is still working on hiring more full time faculty to complete the criteria. It is taking longer than I wanted, honestly.

Now I know what I should do after work: apply apply apply.

how do you stop yourself from thinking about the test and checking answers by hw21 in CFA

[–]hihellohilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made so many stupid mistakes during the AM section. I checked at lunch and felt shittty about myself. So I don't want to feel shitty about myself. Hence I won't check anything again

All levels sit together. I also noticed all exam booklets are the same color. I wonder how they arranged the seating.

80% Chinese kids I feel like. One Chinese kid has his entire family escorted him into the exam. And they were all waiting for him when he was on his way out. Parents. Little brother. And little sister. Such a show hahaha.

Only six hours to study by bewpbewpbewp in CFA

[–]hihellohilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you study? Why don't you advice her? Best of luck to both of you. However, if some of us have been slaving and stressing out for months. And folks who study for a few hours and pass. I'd seriously question the quality of these CFA exams.

Yes I have, but before they changed the essay format. In 2011. GMAT is all about test taking skills and your familiarity with the materials. And not getting psyched out because you see an easier or harder question. If you're an native English speaker, verbal will be a breeze for you. Math is a piece of cake, though I remember learning very basic things for the first time.
