Who sat for CFA yesterday or today?

Sat for level 2 yesterday first time taker. Didn’t realize how stressed out the whole experience made me until last night after it was over. Told myself if I don’t pass I probably won’t retake. Let’s be real the way they ask questions on that exam is 100% retarded. I can just picture them laughing in their offices seeing that 95% of people missed the same question because of how it was worded. Whole thing was frustrating but I still think I probably passed. Anyways let’s hear it...

I am in the exact same boat as you. PM was about as expected. AM they threw a bunch of things that I felt were not possible to prepare for in advance.

The scary part about the PM was the little twists thrown in here and there. If you were rushing through and didn't double check answers, then you probably missed 5-8 Qs that were tougher than they appeared. Thought AM was in bounds but slightly tougher than I expected (Schweser let me down this year). Hoping for a better curve this year rather than just CFAI reigning in last year's record pass rate.. Back to my afternoon beers for the next 80 days of ignorant bliss.

 

Funny, I feel I got smoked in the morning (I wrote L2), but aced the afternoon session. Do you think there are many different versions of the exam? So stressful waiting for the results! I just came on to WSO looking for this exact post
