re: CFA: TEST OVER. Results in...

Yeah that's how I feel. About to eat some popkern and drink a beer, then get up and go through Equity again in the morning, quick run through deriv/alt asst/PM again, then do a bunch of practice tests.

Have been getting mid 70s consistently with my lowest being 68 and highest being 80. Finished will all the Schweser tests. Tomorrow i'm going to take a sick day, go through and see which types of questions i missed the most of, try and learn those types of problems, then find more practice test info and do more problems.

I got an email from the CFA society today about a "CFA postgame happy hour" at the flying saucer, but i don't think i can wait long enough to drive over there to start consuming beverages.

Give me your finest liquor, on the rocks or neat, and fill the entire fricking cup up sir. I will be back for more in twenty minutes and you will be a few dollars richer for no reason as you're already getting paid.

God gave you two hands to have two cups. One for you and one for your "date"

Any recommendations on places to eat lunch tomorrow near campus? (New Orleans Test)

I'm officially in total burn out mode. This is the worst vacation ever. I need to review Derivatives, a few small parts of FI, and PM again. I feel very comfortable about Ethics, FSA, and Equity. I feel "good enough" about everything else and will feel fine once I run through that stuff one more time. Secret Sauce is useless garbage. A word of advice to all, just remember, you get six fricking hours to take this thing. Stay calm, read slow, you know they like to trip you up on stupid shite that is easy to frick up just because you're hyped up and reading too fast (eg they say expected dividend/earnings so the g is already in the number, you don't need to multiply by 1+g, other times they reverse it, give you retention ratio one place and payout ratio in the next one, etc, you know the drill). Again, you've got plenty of time, if you don't know something, don't freak out and rush through it or skip it, try and figure it out. You will almost certainly not know the answer to everything, but remember, you don't need to; you need to know the answer to greater than 70% of a few can't miss sections and a cumulative greater than 70% on a few others. If you bomb a few derivatives and random econ questions you're still okay. Again, you've got six motherfricking hours. Go get em boys, and, as I believe I've said for the last two of these, catch you on the flip side.

Just took the 1 free sample that comes with CFA registration.

It was notably harder, in my opinion, than the Schweser practice exams. But this was largely due to the fact it covered a larger swath of material and thus required more time (and less time to think about each question).

That said, I feel pretty good. Scored a 75% on Part 1 and 71% on Part 2 for an average total of 73%. If I can just reproduce that tomorrow, I think I'll be fine.

Plus the tigers are one.. watch this game and hit the sack.

Fred's could be educational. At minimum, you'll get a great sample of the total STD-infected population.
