Wow, in the wrong, yet still letting rip with the national insults.
What a pleasant chap you are.

did you do the am paper? I got about 20% higher in it than any other paper I did and it took less than 2 hours. charters should definitely be revoked.Thump wrote:
from that table, how was the pass rate 76% for level 3 in 2006???
You get a certain type of cynical sarcastic north american that tries to adopt our humour and it rarely works. you just can’t teach the ingrained hatred and disdain under the veil of passive politeness. much like how you can’t teach us thorough dental hygiene…Destroyer of Worlds wrote:
I did, actually. However, I would argue that this American has given up her right to be called American and in his time studying abroad in the UK, has immediately grown a constipated sense of humor, a taste for bangers and mash and a rapidly deteriorating layer of tooth enamel.CityStraggler wrote:

Oh ho ho ha ha ha! Those witty Brits get me every time with their humour. Wait, this was supposed to be a stab at writing something funny, right? Bollocks!
Q: I’ve been studying for this thing for months and as an American living abroad, I’m going to have to spend the weekend after exams doing my taxes. This blows.
Wow… you seem to have an alarming amount in common with me. Actually, are youPast-Me? Creepy, dude. Creepy.
Sorry to disappoint you but this isn’t British humour…
EDIT: Further research on “Alphaville” web site cements my point perfectly. Point your browser to http://ftalphaville.ft.com/meet-the-team/lisa-pollack. Her bio clearly indicates that “She would also prefer that you didn’t know she’s American, having grown up in Oregon.” You see, even her bio displays the bone-dry British sense of humor we’ve all come to know and love from “across the pond!”
Noted. Although the people who show up at ExCel Centre generally seem well-groomed to me. I, on the other hand, look/felt awful by exam day. But whatever.former trader wrote:

I have no interest in 300hours. I just like their stuff. Read it quite a lot when I was preparing for my second go at the Level 3.AfricaFarmer wrote:
I remember reading that and wondering if Lisa Pollock has some vested interest in 300hours. Why didn’t she reference AF or any of the other CFA program-centric sites.

The 2006 L3 AM exam was so easy it was insulting. Using that for practice was like going up against the BP pitcher as preparation to face Clayton Kershaw.gringo_bob wrote:
