Those who think you failed when do you plan to start again?

I would never do all this if I didn’t have a guaranteed promotion/raise coming upon completion.

I’ve never heard of a firm that had a guaranteed promotion/raise coming upon completion. For me my motivations were: interest in the material, a general interest in furthering my career and relishing the challenge.

I’m in it first for the money. Reached an agreement with my boss on a minimum salary once I complete the program.
I think I’ll start the day after results come out either on retake or Level 3.
I will also enjoy the prestige of the letters after my name on business cards and LinkedIn.
I don’t mean to sound so shallow, but I don’t really enjoy anything about the program. Just trying to get through.

I’d probably start sometime in March.
I was very well prepared for the exam, but I feel like I wrote it pretty badly.

I’m not judging, but isn’t it pretty hard to stay motivated that way?

I’ll start in October with either Schweser or Elan. I refuse to read the CFAI materals - no mattter how many times I fail. I would skip Schweser EOCs, if I go with Schweser, and do just CFAI EOCs, which I did in addition to Schwesers EOCs this time around. I’ll do 7 exams again and read the 11th hour guide.
My prediction is I failed Band 6-8. There’s just no way I passed this exam. I had to guess quite a bit on Quant, PM, Deriv., and some of FI.

I’m surprised you didn’t have to guess on AI.

Maybe on one or two questions. I was able to narrow it down on the others. Doesn’t mean I got them right. I predict 3/6 as I’m sure I got one question wrong after I got home and checked - screwed up an easy calculation. Who the hell knows though. I just want my score so I know where I stand in terms of getting this program over with…
