Don’t be so harsh, it’s a difficult time for us and he did apologize in hashtag format in his net post. CFAbeatmeup is definitely a positive force around here. Understand that most of us had to find the past mocks by ourselves and we are currently answering/helping 2017 lvl III candidates while being on edge for our own results.

Thanks Grrreg, I appreciate it. I think we’re all a little on edge.

So, no, you don’t get to “bully” me here and make jokes about me. ALSO, FYI, I did google search the CFA mocks and the pages did not open, I believe CFAI removed them or maybe because I did not register yet. This being said, we will see next week how well the genius did in his level III exam ;)

Sorry if you feel I’m bullying you, I guess I’m old enough to remember when that word meant something other than saying something I don’t agree with. That’s mostly a comment on society and not you, though.
As for your Google search, here’s the response from the first Google search I did. The very first Google search I performed. Within the top five results I found 10 years of CFA exams. Here’s the link, as it appears you ended your search after your first unsuccessful attempt: http://bfy.tw/73lw

you do realize that on CFAI website the only available one is 2014? other mocks have been removed for some reason.. I did find in one forum a list of 10-year past exam but the links did not work :)
And yes, judging me by the number of attempts of CFA exam is bullying :)

First, let me apologize for “bullying” you (your words, not mine) by judging you on the number of attempts it took you to pass L2. I should let you know that if you attain the charter, it’s common among buy-side firms to ask how many times it took to pass each level. And, yes, they do judge you versus your peers in that regard.
Why do you think the whole “can you say you passed each level on my first attempt” came from? Of course, you can’t say this implies you will be a better employee or a better investor, but it’s likely an employer is going to prefer a “1-and-done candidate” to a 5-time retaker, all other factors equal.
I’m not going to respond any further. If you can’t follow the link I sent you, scroll down the results, and find the one entitled ”10 years of level 3 exams” then I can’t help you.
Actually, here is the site: https://level3cfa2012.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/9-years-of-level-3-exams/ I’ve checked it on my iPhone, work computer, and from my iPad – all three are able to access the pdf files.
My broader point was not to expect the data in L3 to be spoon-fed to you and don’t expect the answers to have a nice bow attached to it. This actually was the best advice I received re: L3; to prepare like you’re a real-world portfolio manager, not a student. Obviously you’d rather focus on the delivery over the substance, so I’ll apologize…again.

I don’t know, he was a bit snarky in ONE post, but apologized twice and then came thought with the direct link for the past exam. He gets my vote
 
Dear @cfabeatmeup
thank you for the clarification however, I am not concerned by how employers evaluate candidates and potential employees, I was clear when I said “you” cannot judge somebody by the number of attempts of the CFA exam. “You” as a CFA candidate know exactly how much we have to prepare for the exam and one week before the exam “boom” something extraordinary can happen and can keep you from passing from first attempt.
Second, the link you posted is not new to me, I already visited that webpage however when I try to access 2013 mock it says “page not found” under CFAI website. Meaning that CFAI removed it
Third, no I don’t expect anything to be spoon-fed to me in level III, just like I studies on my own using CFAI and other providers for level I & II, I plan to do the same with III. In levels I and II we were only given one mock, hence I didn’t know you were given more than one in III + it’s still August so I’m sure that by December I’ll have more and more details about level III.
bottom line, you don’t get to judge me based on my number of attempts or by my questions in the forum. If u don’t feel like candidates should help each other then why did you sign up here?
