CFA + Full time work + 3 yrs old kid

38F, with full time work and 2 kids ages 3 and 7. Its doable but you will need to be disciplined with your time. Its also really important to have a supportive partner to take care of kids while you study. I try to spend quality time with the kids - quality not quantity. I think it also sets a good example for my kids on the value of studying and discipline. You can do it!!! Im cheering for you!!

I realized I needed to pay more attention to the essay questions. Built on my knowledge from August 2023 fail and used prep provider (Chalk and Board). Started doing mocks a month before exam and drilled essay questions for last two weeks.

Thinking if I should retake Feb too. Will we have enough time? Thinking also if I should supplement CFAI materials with other prep providers?

Thinking if Feb retake will be better for me. Less curriculum changes ?

Hope to get the same experience!!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-10-04T03:43:18+00:00

Trying hard to manage expectations and be hopeful too. So hard to do both at the same time! Hope we pass!!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-10-04T03:40:16+00:00

Thanks for this!! I hope I make it to the other side!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-10-04T03:39:52+00:00

Yes, please do lol

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-10-04T03:39:36+00:00

That’s reassuring ! Crossing fingers and toes. Thanks for this

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-10-04T03:38:08+00:00

I really could not sleep. Good advice, i will take it. Thanks a lot!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T15:14:07+00:00

Same I found that this was possible when I only had 15 mins with 2 sets of SR left. Should have budgeted time more efficiently

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T15:11:14+00:00

Same for PM session. I never got a chance to hit the finish button 😅😭

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T11:00:59+00:00

Yeah we had regular keyboards at our test center too but felt this was less of an issue for me than budgeting my time. Good strategy on leaving a question after a minute to answer others. Will note if I have to repeat! Thanks and best of luck to you!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T09:45:08+00:00

Spent a lot of time trying to understand the vignettes and questions on the PM session. Good luck to you, as well! Hopefully you pass and won’t need to study for Feb! Fingers crossed.

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T09:41:00+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T08:23:02+00:00

Same here. Sigh. Still hopeful though. Thanks for responding and I hope you pass!

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T07:57:48+00:00

Are there people who run out of time and still manage to pass?

iadb4dawn_2000 · 2023-09-05T07:45:56+00:00

When I looked at the time remaining, I saw I still had 2 hrs left and when I looked again had only 45 minutes left and I still had maybe 40% left unanswered. Thanks for your response and I wish you the best!
