re: The butthurt is Strong: CFA L1 Failure is Super Salty

The bar was a lot of work, but you spent the 3 years of your life before that prepping for it and then studied full time for a couple of months right before the test. The colume of the Bar prep books was about the same volume as each level of the CFA. The difference here is that most people studying for the CFA are employed full time and studying in the evenings.

I'm not sure if that's a valid criticism. I mean, you're welcome to take time away from work and rack up $100k in student loan debt if you want to prep for the CFA like we prep for the Bar

And for the record, I didn't consider either the MPRE or the Bar to be particularly difficult. I passed both on my first try. With that said, I would take umbrage with anyone who tries to minimize the experience. 7-8 hours of testing per day, Monday/Wednesday/Friday for a total of 21.5 hours of testing in a single week, the overwhelming majority of which is essay, is nothing to scoff at.
