I haven't seen anything posted on here related to CFA® /corona so wanted to start a discussion as I know a lot of people who use this site are sitting for one of the exams this summer and have already invested hundreds of hours to prep for this.
If the exam is canceled or delayed 6 months that could throw away a lot of hard work. Just wondering how those of us sitting (I'm L3) should proceed in the coming weeks with every large congregation globally over the next 3 months being canceled; yet, no word from the CFA® institute. Should i put my books down and enjoy quarantine for now?
Why do you ask this here- you've signed up for the CFA right- so you get emails from them right. Nobody would know anything until they send official word about what's happening with the program.
probably
I suspect it will be cancelled / postponed. The language coming out of CFA society events seems to be trending towards the more cautious on regional stuff, and the idea of thousands of people in a poorly ventilated room constantly touching their faces might be a bad image to portray and have negative feedback. I am also unclear what their policies are for places like Italy and China that are under quarantine l.
The difference between the NBA and schools cancelling their respective events with the exams is that the CFA books these things super far in advance. Logistically it would be very onerous to change at all, but I hope that isn’t enough incentive for them to leave us hanging until the last moment.
Personally, I would be upset if it was cancelled/postponed but I would understand given all the other institutions that have made changes.
I’m woefully ignorant of the writing centres in other cities, I did not know it was only a classroom in some places! I am biased as the Toronto testing centre is multiple rooms of the Toronto convention centre with thousands of people.
But it's still 3 months out. I feel like it's way too early to make a determination now. Why not make a decision in one more month?
