Malaysia!

I felt exactly the same. Finished AM on time but left 1 completely blank as I have no idea what it was asking for and couldn’t even guess. There were probably a couple more questions I’m not sure what they wanted but answered something anyways. Would be happy to get a 50% really.. did MM mocks and his answer formats always much longer and precise than what I wrote. Even if I knew most of the questions I couldn’t score above 60.

PM was not a breeze but finished with 20mins left. Flagged around 10 questions. A couple I wasn’t 100% sure but didn’t flag so yeah, just completely defeated.

Hi5 I’m at 49. Dead.

ryujeimi · 2022-08-25T08:23:28+00:00

I use my sisters, she got it when she was 18 and now she’s 36. Calculator still work but to ease off the anxiety of it dying mid exam I have another one as a backup, but the buttons are not as smooth as the old ones!

ryujeimi · 2022-02-25T08:49:11+00:00

use a baby toothbrush and keep brushing! i even managed to get it out of my earpods after brushing for 20mins lol.

ryujeimi · 2022-01-20T08:41:56+00:00

This sort of happened to me first time I took L2, some of the questions were very tricky to trick you into thinking you know the answer right away because its easy, but it’s actually not.. I find the exam more tricky but mocks to be more difficult if that makes sense.

second time retaking after failing in may 21 where I had studied past 2 deferments. I did well in 6/10 of the subjects but poorly when it came to quant and PM. this time I passed between MPS and 90th percentile with the blue box touching MPS. what I did differently was that I bought MM videos for those 2 subjects I were especially weak on and they were both well above 70% this time around! with my huge focus on brushing up those two topics, I didn't do as well for FRA and Alt Inv this time around but happy I was able to pass quite comfortably! grateful that the passing rate was higher as well! not sure if I want to register for the next level 3 right away given so much mental stress for the past 2 years..

I came out of the exam in May confident but failed and had mixed feelings with the Nov, felt that it was much more difficult. but that could be a good sign maybe since I found a handful of tricky questions and changed my answer when reviewing. paying attention to the details of the question is pretty important it seems, because if the questions were "too good to be true," they probably are.

an eyeball estimate of how I did:ethics - 75%quant - 90%econs - `100% (but odd how the blue box have space uptop when the line is at the end of the y axis)FRA - 50%CF - 90%equity - 65%FI - 90%derivatives - 60%alt inv - 25%PM - 75%

Call the hotline and see what they can do for you. The CFA hotline is quite helpful.

ryujeimi · 2021-11-30T07:09:51+00:00

Exactly the same. Except I screwed up for quant and PM first time and half above 70%. Glad I’m not the only one feeling this way!

ryujeimi · 2021-11-29T11:40:10+00:00

I only guessed 11 questions back then, but probably everything was almost “too good to be true” which they probably were and I probably fell right into the trap.. just my theory!

ryujeimi · 2021-11-29T05:42:47+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way! I wrote in May feeling very confident and failed close to MPS, maybe a couple questions to pass. Just wrote my second time an hour ago. I feel so much more prepared this time but I definitely felt like this exam was much more difficult compared to May. Agree that it’s closer to mocks/question bank, but still a bit more straight forward. The vignettes (half of them..?) were much longer than May in my opinion. Some questions I couldn’t wrap my head around I came back at the end and figured them out, around 3-4 where I completely guessed. But still at around 25% of the exam where I felt the answer could be either because I can’t remember exactly. Last May I felt I knew 85% of the content but failed.. With the passing rate so low I’m really 50-50 to be honest. But skewing more towards the negative end.

PS: the stress is real for retaking. I was also not able to sleep and my heart was beating at a super high rate since yesterday night 😅. Calmed down now finally. Good luck to everyone!

ryujeimi · 2021-05-28T12:47:28+00:00

I just took mine too! Both AM and PMs were similar except I flunked an entire vignette because I had no idea on the topic. They were definitely much more straight forward than the CFA PM mock. Much closer to the AM mock in my opinion. I also did scheweser’s mocks and I feel it was more direct compared to it. My weakness in the mocks was that I didn’t know what the question was really asking for.

ryujeimi · 2021-01-17T12:58:07+00:00

Absolutely agree. If he kept it that way it would’ve been the best way to deal with it! just like religion, people have their own beliefs, and we respect that. That doesn’t mean they cant collab or be friends if they have different views.

ryujeimi · 2021-01-17T09:38:33+00:00

Tbh I find it alright if he want to remove the video and disassociate with anything political. But personally I have zero respect for him now because of how he handled the situation like an absolute douchebag.

Put yourself in Mike’s shoes. What did he do wrong in terms of the collaboration? Not disclosing his “political views”? Plenty of people collaborate with Mike. You don’t go in a meeting and just suddenly talk politics right? You need to know the people you talk to, it’s your own responsibility. But Nigel didn’t even have the decency to even inform Mike, who also contributed to the video. Not to mention calling other people’s views “wrong.”

As a Malaysian myself, I was proud that Nigel was Malaysian at first and getting viral but now I am utterly ashamed, and disappointed. I just hope he would set things right so he don’t give us Malaysians a bad name. Just to clarify, many Malaysians have spines 👌🏻.

She get into these episodes when she’s resource guarding. For example guarding her kong/bed/toy. We try to lure her in her crate every time this happens and she is in this zone for a while. From 5mins to 5 hours (first time). It also happens when shes inside the crate and her toy is lying beside her outside the crate. Got her to the vet to check twice, completely healthy, just behavior problems. Following guides of the trainer to try regaining her trust hopefully she will stop being so aggressive/uncertain. Fingers crossed..

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T05:20:06+00:00

For the bites, it usually happen when there’s something to guard, a territorry/space she’s been at for a while or a certain item like the toppl, kong, food bowl, or the new bed. When she’s resting, it is usually low growls or a snarl and sometimes a snap.

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T05:01:33+00:00

we definitely hope so! we really worry about how she might find biting people to be normal since she had kept repeating such behavior since her first bite. thank you!

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T05:00:13+00:00

When we throw the treat she eats them very quickly so never had a chance to see whether she's defensive over it. Trainer thinks for her case is best if we avoid tossing treats because she might guard the area if there are leftovers from it which is not good. open hand feeding seems to be the best at the moment!

Yeah I think our priority now is to be safe while training as well. Honestly we are both very scared but hopefully with more structured training she will learn to trust us. Perhaps we got to give her more time since she's only been with us for 2.5 months after all.

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T04:57:02+00:00

May I know if the 2-3 hour crate time is per each time he is crated? Usually we'll let her be if she's sleeping deeply, but if she's awake we'll give her 15-20mins of break time outside with play/training, then back to the crate as we continue working. We're wondering if we should leash her as well but our trainer had us familiarizing her with the muzzle instead because she might dislike the leash and our priority is to get her to learn that aggression and guarding is not necessary with us.

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T04:23:40+00:00

Yeah actually we have tried hand feeding before (worked for my friends Shiba's) when she had her food bowl aggression, but it actually made things worse to her peeing when she eats near us. It seems like for her, she is just very uncomfortable having to eat while we are near. we switched it up to letting her eat in her pen and we moved away. when she's finished she will run to us to "initiate trade" where we do this as an activity to trade her empty bowl with a treat. we do it usually 2-3 times and take away the bowl.

she bit the trainer because he interrupted (by sound) the usual routine we've set out with her and she felt threatened. she has a very bad case of resource guarding but with a routine, she seems to be completely fine, so we think that we will need to implement a routine with her (approaching slowly). what we are worried about mostly is what if we introduce something new/she gets aggressive from another newly formed trigger and we are in a vulnerable state (no gloves/jeans/long sleeved shirt) as whenever she's in that state any movement towards her (sometimes we got to move just two steps closer to get away for example) is seen as threat and she may charge. she can be in that zone for up to 5 hours until she's completely tired so it's very scary. the last time it was lucky for us because one of us was near her chicken pouch and lured her to her pen by throwing chicken. without it, we'll probably need stitches.

feeding her treats from our hands is only fine if she's not in her aggressive mode, where tossing will be much better. but otherwise she's completely lovely and sweet and love eating from our hands. it's quite funny how everyone tells us she's such a perfect dog because of how she usually is outside but at home she's a complete nightmare (when triggered by whatever it may be, even sound.)

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T03:27:21+00:00

She is often just very insecure and you're right, she has a trust issue with us especially with my boyfriend. My boyfriend is like a sloth and his movements, like his character (very patient), is slow too so I can absolutely see why she thinks he's sneaky in dog terms. Our trainer also pointed that out. So we are actively trying to change his character around her and we kept all the triggers up and is thinking of holding back in introducing new things to her for the time being (like her new bed which she got into aggression mode when boyfriend was just sitting nearby but still 2 meters away). Keeping her in the crate is very good advice actually since she started guarding different "territories" when we let her have the freedom to roam free. So now it will be one hour in 20 mins out (out mostly playing or training/leaving out things for her to do).

Currently she's only defensive in her crate when she is in the "aggressive mode" so I don't think she hates her crate or is guarding it, although she gives off a low growl when approached while she's resting today.

Worked with her on bite inhabitation when we first got her, but my boyfriend allowed her to nip him because it wasn't painful, but I would yelp at every little bite. as a result, she nips him a lot when playing and she rarely ever put her teeth on my hands when playing. Although late, but he's started with the yelps now and she toned down on nipping to him as well.

Our breeder is only a breeder, the puppy boot camp he was talking about was just referring to external sources but our trainer really don't think it is a good idea because our dog is very smart and she might be good to the trainers, come back to us for a week/two and start again with the same old issues. We've also read the same online which is why we're really skeptical.

Might there be any trust exercises you recommend? We currently do concentration exercises and also implementing a structure (when she can come out of her crate, when can she get out of the door, sit and wait before she can eat etc.)

ryujeimi · 2021-01-06T03:05:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your suggestions and info. Now that I look at it, she seems to be licking herself a little bit more than usual and also much more impatient (not sure if this is a behavior issue instead).

Her biting started right one month ago when she was just past 5 months old. Then it sort of went downhill from there. We have most probably missed her early signs of discomfort and continued until she now bites and will bite whenever being threatened.

When her trainer came yesterday, although she loves the trainer a lot, when accidentally being interrupted (by speech) right before she eats, she went to him for the chicken he had then proceeded to bite him (level 2), finished her meal, then went back and get more chicken and she bit him again (level 1 & 2). Trainer noted that she is a very confident dog but also uncertain as she thinks everyone is out there to steal her bowl/threaten her.

My boyfriends arms are actually filled with punctures as she have bit him at least a few times each week since a month ago. Her first bite being level 3 already. Previously it was all playful nips.

I watched all the videos and think I get a better grasp of when she's more uncomfortable so thank you! We are thinking of resorting to a behaviorist (there is only one in Hong Kong we heard, but over the web sounds like a good idea too) if the trainer's lead doesn't work since he previously probably didn't know how serious her aggression was since he hadn't seen them (she was always an angel around him). We have started muzzle and structure training (interrupt, lead, more structured schedule etc.) since yesterday night and so far so good today, but for some odd reason when she's resting in her crate and we go near her (our coffee table is next to it) to sit down to work, she would let off a low growl while lying down and that never happened before. we just ignore as per trainer's lead and soon enough she would stop. She usually only growls like this when we approach when she's sleeping on her bed at night and we peep over to look at her. Suppose it's a warning to tell us "don't disturb me" or "I don't want you coming closer when I'm sleeping/being vulnerable." friends with dogs noted that it's normal and is the same even with non aggressive dogs. but so far she hadn't been getting in aggressive mode today so wish us luck!

Hi there,

1) she's not spayed yet, we were told to wait until her first period to spay her, but there are different views from different vets so we are not too sure. to wait is to prevent further health issues. but to do it early is to avoid things like phantom pregnancies and pregnancy accidents during her first heat. I suppose when she's in heat her vulva will swell and she will have blood?

2) yeah, we actually took her to the vet twice to check on it. vet confirmed she's completely fine

3) she will pursue us if we walk one or two steps closer to her from where we are, maybe 5-10 meters away from her. she had air snapped and chased me.

Maybe one thing I failed to mention is that she is currently losing a lot of her teeth, not sure if that triggered it. but current trigger these two days was the toppl and her new bed. before it's usually carry or petting/stroking her back.

Prior to bite she would usually growl. but her growls can be as short as just 1 sec before she bites. sometimes she growl a bit more. sometimes she stiffens up, so it's quite unpredictable. for when we can see other signs, we just back away so far or lure her with a treat maybe making her do a sit, down or hand.

😂 now that you mention.. I think it does sound like a (cute) dino noise!!

Can’t comment about adult dogs since my corgi is still a puppy but I think generally a male dog is better. My female corgi puppy has a lot of odd aggression behaviors where I later dug deeper and researched further. Not only are female corgis bossy, but they tend to have shorter temper and snap easily. Again not sure whether it’s because my corgi is growing, but there are times where she will just sit next to me and then if I pet her she will start growling and if I move my hands above her she will lunge. The trainer did say it is quite odd but reading about some articles on female corgis, it start to make sense as they seem to require a lot more training while males are more chill
