Amber, you can see the performance band at the bottom of the scores... just shows where we stand among the losers... Think I might have a good chance for Dec '08...

When should a repeat beging studying for December?
 
Failed as well, was 50%-70% in almost everything...less than 50% in Derivatives and Alt Inv

My performance band was a 7...how do you interpret that number?
 
I also understand what it's like to fail and I support you guys as well. Just take a week off and then hit the books running. You will know the stuff a LOT better than people taking the exam for the first time. And for you amber, you'll know it 10x better! Just hit the books hard and you guys will know the stuff inside and out. Good luck!

FSA, Corporate Finance (Quant I bet it was simple things that throw you off)

That's what got my ball out of the park.

Wow, I was close. I'm not very happy.
 
Level 1: Fail

I think ethics was the problem...

If you put it in perspective, you guys will have a big advantage going into the Dec exam. And when you rock that exam, you'll be with you buddies come next June for LII without skipping a beat. Don't give up, and best of luck in Dec.
 
I'm not going to paste my scores but I got 70+ in FSA and 50-70 in most of the sections except quant and AI.

I got 10.
