OK, we already knew this so it is a bit of a non-event, but receiving the actual email somehow made it more real for me.
Thoughts? Renewed fears and/or hopes? Plans to celebrate or to drown your sorrows?
 
Saw the email and my heart jumped. Opened it and scanned for the word “congratulations” but didn’t see it so I smashed my computer. I’m writing this from a public one - what was the email about? It wasn’t results?
damn.
 
Oddly enough I haven’t been quite as obsessed so far as I was waiting for Level 1 results.
After L1 I felt like every day / week was costing me since the wait would only leave me with 4 months to study for L2 or for L1 again (December session). This time around, the best part is knowing that, come what may, I won’t have to crack a book open for months. That definitely takes the edge off, although I’m sure my blood pressure will start creeping up a few days before July 23…
For now, I’m following Drago’s advice and doing some sports - plus catching up on all the (fiction) books I had to put on hold for months, dining out almost every night, seeing friends, staying late at work, etc. Amazing how much time and energy we suddenly got back.
 
makes sense.. its usually 7 weeks after the exam and always on a Tuesday for some reason.
 
I didn’t get any emails from CFAI since the exam day.
 
If I were you guys I would log into my CFAI account to double-check the email on record is still the right one (and the one you are checking). If it is, I would wait a couple of days and reach out to the CFA Institute if I still had not heard by the end of the week. The email some of us received is not critical or time sensitive, so there is no real cause for concern - and you have a month to get things sorted out before results are actually communicated.
PS: you may also want to check your spam filter to make sure it wasn’t mistakenly held up by your firewall.
 
you are right, Gottasay,
it’s spamed.
Weird, I put CFAI sender in safe list, I didn’t have issue this Jan receiving level 1 emails though.
 
I was stressed after level I and eager to know my results, but for this one? meh, I’m just happy to have a break from it and do other things.
 
Same thing happened to me…it got spammed and I thought I had put it on a safe list. Never had that issue before with CFA emails.
 
It’s like stubbing your toe really hard, and you don’t want to look at the result, and then ‘click’ you look.
Agh. I remember seeing ‘Congratulations’ on the L1 email last summer. I was on vacation in Jamaica, and went snorkeling on a reef afterwards. I also has a job to return to aftewards. I figure that was the happiest day of my life so far. Didn’t know it back then, but looking back, that was the happiest day of my life.

Eh, after I see my inevitable fail it’s back to work!
 
i never have the courage to open the email.
Longest i went was 3 days after Level I. I hope it is quicker this time around, but i probably will revert to my old tactics of getting a friend open it and convey the news. That way, I am not alone and get a hug if it’s bad news.
 
The long wait has a silver lining: except for the people closest to me, most folks will have completely forgotten by the time results are released.
Right now the guy at my favorite coffee spot, the girl at the gym - everyone keeps (nicely) asking, and I keep telling them I won’t find out for a very long time. Come July 23rd, I’ll have the option to lay low or brag obnoxiously…
 
After Jun 1, I almost forgot these stuff. But since I receive this email, I started to worry again. Now each time I think of it, my heart beats heavily.
