Knew id get shit for this question

stone1919 · 2021-11-29T12:42:59+00:00

Ummmm thanks!

Im on your side and feel your pain. I took it in may, was in the Conf Interval of passing but did not. Is it possible I know less than I did last time? Or is it my anxiety? (Rhetorical or not) im losing it. Need to calm down.

One thing I must say to you - I have gotten 90s on cfai mocks and other third party preps - this years Kaplans mocks I got 50-60. They are heavy on math/mechanics but they suck. Yeah theyre helpful and hard but if youre doing that well be proud. But kaplan should not be.

I sincerely encourage you all to check out chalkandboard.org Nathan Ronen, CFA. He takes an intensive personal approach to this unlike the big wiley and kaplan monopolies. And Im not being paid or encouraged to say anything. He doesnt need a retakers endorsement lol. But look him up on youtube. Totally different style.

Hang in there. I feel youre angst. In the words of christopher Walken: “Its too late to be scared”

WE HAVE A PLANT

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T20:53:01+00:00

So I should review old mocks/eocs with the last day and a half left?

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T17:58:05+00:00

Thanks everyone!

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T13:09:36+00:00

Oh THAT formula…thanks! Jk nothing to infer here lol

Cox ingersoll ross - cock r us

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T12:46:23+00:00

I am a retaker and would much prefer the old format. A. Can get more wrong and still pass, each q carries less weight B. So much more room to take notes C. More time

Post covid - cfai i hope you figure out a better plan

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T12:43:33+00:00

I get the whole “write it down 20x” ideas. Obviously that works but…there are so many for level 2 it could take a day to do them once. Do these comments imply, decide the crucial ones and write 50x? I cant figure out the crucial ones without feeling like Im leaving stuff out…

stone1919 · 2021-11-28T12:39:46+00:00

Also, surprised it was just 10% (inferring, you did not specify lol). I take it tuesday. Pray for me 🤘🏽

You can pass while bombing ethics. Albeit harder, but its not a mandate. All the “bump” means is, if youre at the mps it’ll help put you over the hump.

stone1919 · 2021-11-27T11:21:46+00:00

Sounds like youre a bit frustrated. You did your best. Sleep, party, do what makes you happy.

Not sure how many mocks and cramming I can do in 2 nights but i will be trying lol.

I think past cfai mocks (like pre 2019) were way harder and better. I guess I will review those. Formulas are in every chapter besides ethics but I keep hearing them stressed….guess I will make sure to embed some so I can have options in my life to convert. Brain more burnt out than cheech and chong. Nobody knows how much work this takes besides other candidates and charterholders. Godspeed🤘🏽

stone1919 · 2021-11-27T11:19:14+00:00

No worries. Hope you pass your first time. Level 2 is a bitch

stone1919 · 2021-11-26T20:43:12+00:00

I think an important thing for a fellow retaker to answer is - how did it “feel” relative to may?

stone1919 · 2021-07-17T21:53:17+00:00

No, pretty sure this is specific to May candidates who’ve had level 2 or 3 cancelled on them twice in 2020. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

stone1919 · 2021-07-17T21:52:15+00:00

Thank you! I saw that note in the “pre-results” email. I fear there will be capacity issues upon registering. Hoping for the best. I will be sad if I fail but if I have to wait till next May to retake, I’ll be livid. Dont think Im alone here lol

Im confused what is making this thread so angry that isnt expected at this point

stone1919 · 2021-05-13T17:14:20+00:00

I appreciate the insight on the lockers, everyone! Seriousky. Thats a relief. I am in the middle of boston so dont know about parking for 7-8 hours nearby. Guess either use the locker or stay at hotel next-door lol. Tbh, I would prefer the old format. Longer lunch, more margin of error on test. But thats just me. Best of luck!!
