LOL. There could be multiple reasons for someone spending a shorter time than required or planned. Well when I did what I did I know it was a high risk strategy, rather a lot like a call option (not really a high risk strategy). The utility value of the reward (of passing) might have been lower than the utility value of time to pass as this point of time. No one needs to feel awful for anyone else. Do emotions have value, may be they are value destructive.

I think ltj’s point was if you took a noted “risky” strategy, you may should have mentally prepared for a bad result and not have taken it so hard. I’m not here to tell you how to feel, but rationally people that fail to prepare for a goal generally don’t react so harshly to not attaining said goal.

Meaning to say that bankers who take risky positions should not feel bad or feel so harshly of their losses…….OK…….well not many would stay in their career too long.
I get Hedgee point on his strategy - am I going to give up an entire year for one piece of paper - that is backpacking, focusing on profits for my firm, leisure time with my family, etc - time which I will never get back for one piece paper - maybe not.
A reasonable amount of time - sure - an entire year - it ain’t worth it.
Nothing harsh meant. Apologies if I came across that way. I joined AF this month, expecting a close brush and not sure if I would have the time to go thro the grind next time. Honestly I was expecting AM to be in second bucket mostly except the last 2 sections that I was under time pressure. Hence I was thinking if it makes sense to retab. I had done PM quite well, and was unsure of how I did ethics. Apologies again.

Feel absolutely 0 sympathy for anyone who studies for 3 weeks and expects to pass, don’t care if it worked for level 1 and 2 (which I highly doubt).

Well, I too got through L1 and L2 in one shot, but didn’t do so well for L3. 2-2-6 for AM and 8-1-1 for PM. Was confident that I did enough to get decent results for the AM, but not so sure about the PM. In the end, it worked out the opposite way.
One of my friends has the same composition of marks, another one has 3-2-5 for AM and 4-5-1 for PM, and another has 3-2-5 (AM) and 5-1-3 (PM). I’m assuming these are the Band 11-ers.
I’m just wondering whether y’all think that re-tabulation might work out for me. Considering that I’ve done quite well in PM when compared to the above examples, wouldn’t there be a possibility of a Band 11 upon re-tabulation? Provide me some consolation, AF!
I DID leave out about 7 marks of questions from the AM session because I ran out of time. In terms of knowledge, I think I had enough to get a Band 11, but I think the lack of practising writing past papers is what sent me to a Band 10 result. I’ll have to do extra work on past papers/mock exams for 2017 (if re-tabbing isn’t successful).
