My posting ends Sunday. I'm just on vacation this week, allowing me regulatory freedom. I had to stop posting on here because there are some jerky Internet tough guys that troll these boards looking to make trouble.


Well that sucks. I knew something was missing on the money board. We only have so many posters and I started feeling like certain threads weren't having as much discussion as I had hoped.

The bitcoin threads do the best, unfortunately.

People just don't understand how hard this series of tests is (NOT equal to the CPA). Anyways, best of luck to everyone. I respect anyone who can get through all three. (I only have passed Level 1, not taking Level 2 this go around)

The CFA is definitely comparable to the CPA.

All 4 parts of the CPA are comparable to L1. See, that's a comparison.

I think the CFA is more comparable to the actuarial exams.

Oh I think we all know who's coming to Fayetteville this weekend...

Let's make a bet. Arkansas takes 2/3 or sweeps LSU, you have to respond to the Kessler thread Monday.

LSU takes 2/3 or sweeps, I start any thread you want me to on the poli board and stick with any argument of your choosing for 5 pages.

Chris, your brother is a good tackler. He said he learned his fighting moves from 18 years of battling you.

If you do 300+, you'll be golden. Just make sure to do at least 2 full mock tests, and review the ethics from the CFA curriculum the day before the test.

ETA: YGM Russian

I actually had to take him to the ground on the golf course the other day for some shenanigans he pulled. He'll never learn.

ETA: Appreciate the advice. I was actually able to take a Schweser course up here that has been really helpful keeping me organized and on schedule. I get a couple free mock exams from them and a 4000 question database that I've been crushing.

I've come to understand that it isn't a lack of learning. He just enjoys it. There is no other reason he would instigate so much.

I just spent the last month of my life terrorizing him every day. It was grand.

Does anyone have some extra sample tests for L3?

Also, the secret sauce would be great if anyone gets it.

I wanted to knock out 2 quickly but the grind this past half year has been whooping my arse and left me devoid of ability/energy to study.

The day is about 40% as long as I need it to be.

First year Full time MBA right now and working multiple jobs has left me unable to study for L2. Ya'll kill it for me. I'm going to try to lock down a job by December 2013 then go senioritis with school work and study for L2 June 2014.

Best of luck to everyone
