Time to get it done, Saturday is the day. A little last minute for this post but: Who's taking it/What level/What number will this attempt be/How are you feeling about it?
I'll be siting for level 2, will be my second go at it. Passed level 1 first try the previous December and didn't have enough time to get through all of level 2 last year. I have to say I feel much more prepared this year having had a full 6 months to go through the material. Still, I'll never feel fully confident about a test that fails more than half of its takers.
How's it looking?
Just to motivate you all - I have friend that put in 1000 hours of study time for level II and failed.
Also, don't forget you can borrow calculators in the exam center and it's baller to show up 5 minutes late.
When the moderators say pencils down, they really just mean "ok guys start wrapping up what you are doing. Feel free to spend a couple more minutes on this problem and finish up when you feel comfortable." The myth that you have to stop when they say pencils down is just haters that don't want you to get an extra question right.
Also, make sure to talk about the exam and the questions right after you finish them with each other. Honestly, if you feel comfortable, just assume you passed and start calling yourself a Level III candidate.
Just the fact that you even want to study for the exam, the institute trusts that you will be a CFA one day, so also just feel free to add those three letters to your name early while you're at it.
Don't forget, it's only gay if you look at the other guy's dick.
That's about it for now. Rules to live by.
