LMAO… But not sure if spelling mistake was deliberate or it’s pure irony
 
I’m more interested in the maximum # of attempts before receiving the charter. Any charterholders here admit to having taken the exams an obscene # of time?
 
So far, I’m batting .500. Failed Level 1, passed Level 1. Failed Level 2, passed Level 2. Let’s hope for a break with tradition this year.

I think I remember seeing someone on here a couple of years ago claiming to be on his 6th or 7th try at L3. No idea if he ever passed or not. Took me 3 tries to clear L3, that’s probably a couple of years short of obscene though.
 
^ Few go 3/3. Those who can are good. Took me a few tries at each level. However I don’t think it’s a matter of intelligence, I was busy with work, school, personal things, etc. If I was really smart, I would have done the CFA back when I was 22 and could dedicate all the time in the world while still functioning on minimal sleep.
 
Yes, but think of all the hearts you fulfilled by not having to be locked up with a bunch of books every friday and saturday, CvM. You are full of positive externalities, my friend.
 
This thread is getting me depressed.. there is no way I want to spend more than 4 years on this. If I fail more than twice all together, I think I will cry.
@higgmond & CFAvsMBA… how many years did it take you total then, to get your charter?
Most important question: Looking back at all that time spent, stress bourne, and quality of life taken from you… was it worth it?
 
You’re now loaded with credentials. Worth it?
 
It didn’t pay off as large and as quick as I imagined (the 2008 financial Armageddon and its aftermath got in the way), but I’m glad I did it.
