Well, I do know kind of a funny story.

Friend of mine works in banking, he and the other analyst are studying hard, sweating the whole Series 79. Meanwhile, the associate keeps giving them shit about studying at work the week of the exam, saying, "Hey, guys, you need to take care of this on your personal time."

Well, come exam time, my friend and the other analyst pass the first time...the associate giving them shit FAILS...with a score in the 50s or something ridiculous like that. Now he has to retake it.

Moral of the story: karma's a bitch.

Awesome. Fucker deserves it for writing the exam off as a cakewalk and putting undue pressure on his analysts.
