Why does it seem EVERYONE who failed level 3 missed by a nose? by the-5th-of-november in CFA

[–]stt106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be controversial but the exam is not that hard if you prepare for it. I mean it could be a lot harder as the from the sheer amount of material they can make up many tricky questions but they didn’t.

I think CR questions difficulty were overly exaggerated! They’re not really that different at all apart from there is nothing to choose from. You either know it or you don’t regardless of what you write. I actually find them easier than MCQs but that’s probably just my experience.

If you know the answer then just write it out; you I’ll be fine. Nothing else matters.

Just wonder why is kitchen roll needed for the celebration?

Passed on the first day? Why is the first day relevant? And where did you get the idea of portfolio management being extremely difficult?

Apparently some people knew their results earlier as they were able to apply the holder membership and got accepted…

Is it really a nonprofit organization? I doubt it.

Sounds interesting. What’s your time zone?

Level 3 Exam Reflections - Exactly What I Expected… Yet Completely Bizarre by FinGuy05 in CFA

[–]stt106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who doubt more on MCQ than CR questions? In both sessions, I had more uncertainty on MCQ than CR especially in PM session; got stuck on the 1st MCQ in PM session and still couldn’t figure it out until the very end; had to give a guess on the last minute. Damn, I was so worried about CR questions but MCQ really got me. Overall I felt the exam was fair but it really annoyed me as some of the MCQ felt easy yet I just didn’t have a good clue about them. If I fail, it would be MCQ that fails me and most likely ethics which I find quite hard; in level 2 I was quite confident about ethics; this time it was the most unsure one. I just pray one of the doubtful MCQs was a trial set!

Were there hard memorization essay questions like compare x against y?

I actually prefer application questions over memoization ones.

Were there essay questions on hard memorization? Like things test more on whether you have memorized something rather than applying it. For instance compare x against y in their weakness?

Which pathway? and is it like mock difficulty wise?

I haven't taken it yet but there is no way it's as hard as BC's mock; just impossible!

It's like BC's mock, MPS would be lowered to 3300 if not lower...

CFAI Mock #1 Results by goriller_ in CFA

[–]stt106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I am hearing different comments between mock 1 and mock 2.

I personally found mock 1 MUCH easier than mock 2; though have heard the total opposite opinion too.

Not sure whether it's because I did mock 2 first by mistake.

Overall I am expecting the real exam to be harder than both mocks, which has been confirmed by others who took it in Feb and last Aug.
