Frustrated…The more I study the worse I get…Cant overcome AM session?
May be not my cup of tea:(
 
Why not sign up for a class?
A class cost 700 bucks, but taking the exam 3 times cost 2100?
 
Did you read from CFAI books or did you use 3rd party? Maybe you should read from CFAI.
 
Only you know all the details of your situation, and whether you gave an honest go at each of those exams. Polling people that know ZERO about your situation, abilities, time constraints, etc. and even giving a shred of value to their advice is useless/imprudent. I took the Level 1 exam 3 times, failed the first 2 with terrible scores. Had I come on here seeking advice I easily would have been told to stop. But only I knew that I didn’t even begin to give the curriculum a fair and honest chance/hope, so I took it again and passed Lev 1 with all over 70, and Lev 2 6 months later. Take some time with yourself and try to give an honest assessment of whether you can put more into this exam, or get more from the studying, than you have in the past. The answer lies within you and no one else.
 
^Seriously.
Let’s apply this to an AM question. Could we generate even a shred of a decent IPS based off your post? Below average willingness to take risk, I suppose.
Unique circumstances: CFA exam is not the client’s cup of tea.
 
The material is not that hard..if you cater to how you study.
I realized I need a class and to write cue cards.
If I dont do either of these things, I will fail the exam.
 
Figure out why you failed and break those topics down to its smallest components until you know how to build that engine with your eyes closed. That is what life is all about. Figuring it out. Finding a way to make it work. If others passed, so can you.
