Any other 3/3s?

3/3.
The fear of committing another 9 months to material already covered is powerful motivation.
 
18 months here. My motto: better to over-prepare than underprepare and lose another 6 months of your life.
since we’re bragging, i’m also a CPA. got my CPA, CFA before i turned 25. boom.
 
3/3 as well
My Grids:
Level 1 (2013) - 9 above 70%, and 1 50-70%
Level 2 (2014) - 6 above 70%, 3 50-70% and 1 below 50%
Level 3 (2015) - Everything in AM and PM above 70%
 
When I started studying for Level I, I decided very early on that I hated studying for it.
And I realized that I’d hate it ten times as much if I had to do it a second time.
So I studied like mad.
3/3.
(The fact that taking the exams was my employer’s idea, and that they would pay for the exam and a 2-3 day review only if I passed was also strong (financial) motivation to pass each the first time.)
 
I think the motivation to not waste another year of my life is strong enough for me to overprepare and kill it first time around for each level.
 
Yeah, 3/3 here as well. Feels d**n good. I can’t wait for memorial day weekend in 2016.
Question is - do you include this on your resume? Impressive feat, but you don’t want to seem like a d bag.
 
3/3 here as well. But I had jitters in L2 and L3….
Although commendable achievement, there are lot of factors that gives you the result. Whenever I met another CFA charterholder, no one asks how many attempts did it take? which shows no matter how many attempts it take, you deserve the same respect.
 
Definitely don’t do that, you can imply it by listing the years but blatantly state that you passed it 3/3 is uber douchery behaviour.
