Congrats to 40%, 40% and 50% of Respective CFA Level Takers

by Johnny Debacle

You did not fail, and get to subject yourself to even more hell starting in April. You are closer to the shiny merit badge of financial glory, the CFA designation.

To those of you who did fail, the world needs stock brokers too.

    Pfft.

    Which is to say, I passed in three straight, and more importantly — by cramming progressively less, I got closer to the magic 70% each year running. By CFA III, I think I started in April and probably just eked out a low 70s score.

    Testing, let it be said, ever and always measures test-taking skill. Which my family simply has. That doesn’t make us smart.

    Is CFA III still a “breathe on a mirror” test or have they made it harder now since there are so many more candidates?

    #2 is a modest man, and one who understands that testing merely measures one’s ability to learn things, know things, and to be correct when asked about them.

    You know what any employer is who cares about things like that? Stoopid.

    50% of people who had previously taken and passed level I and level II, failed level III. My guess is that is not a “breathe on a mirror” test.

    All three levels were an exercise in self torture. I may have felt smart immediately after each test, but five years on i am back to being as dumb as a pile of bricks.

    I certainly hope it’s on his father’s side.

    Smoke and Mirrors, CFA: It´s not how you feel five years on, it´s about (as with most things in life such as the credit rating attached to most CDO´s) how others perceive you.

    Feeling that the massed hoardes of newly christened charterholders was taking the shine off my nine year old designation, I recently added four more extremely impressive letters to the b-card.

    Everyone else is far more impressed that reality should dictate, but that is the reality of the alternative universe. Find yourself there at http://www.caia.org …
