Nope. Suck it up and work through it. (I have a rather large issue with extra time for exams. Disclaimer: I'm dyslexic, never used extra time, you don't get extra time at work do you?)

The CFA program gives the Third Reich a run for its money. As a matter of fact, I fear they may try to discover my identity for saying so...

Just a heads up, I remember last year a bunch of people got their CFA exams disqualified because of comments they made on analystforum. Your fear is justified...they are indeed watching.

 

I only have self diagnosed ADD. I was thinking of trying to get an official diagnosis but looks like that'd be a waste of time.

And I'm shocked they tracked down people on an anonymous forum and disqualified tests. Any idea what they said? That really is like the gestapo.

It's because people were talking about test questions right after the test. I can slightly understand, although it is pretty extreme. My point was just that an online discussion forum is not as safe as you think it is, although analystforum is more heavily monitored by the CFA board members than WSO.

 

I CFA proctors/members/prospective members/employees. It is an excellent program that upholds all facets of financial innovation, ethics, and integrity. Everyone should consider undergoing their rigorous and intellectually stimulating curriculum.

hope they see the above comment and pass me cuz no way I passed w/ normal means
