CFA exams

I took Level I just about a few weesk ago.Can'treally say..it seemed a lot easier than I expected , so probably I failed..lolz...I will let you know .. the FRM was a little bit of a challenger...I mean, the morning section was "good", but I flunked in the afternoon (that I know already because.... I know)...I think I still have a chance to pass the morning section...it was "good"meaning "as expected"...I'll post later when the results become available.Any particulars you would like to know? \\M (JD/PhD Candidate/ CFA Level I Failure/FRM FLUNKED... PPAUPER WANNABE...lolz)

Dont really know..Im just a Level I candidate..perhaps any of the CFA here could answer better...but, I figure that, after all that studying...you start feeling the previous test was a lot easier....dont know..I just saying because when I was an undergrad I thought precalculus was a "difficult"class...then...well...in my senior year helping freshmen as a tutor..I kept thinking when looking at the problems...God, I was a moron or what? lolz

QuoteOriginally posted by: sjc4i've heard that some levels are "easier" than others... true?you've got to pass all 3, so it doesn't really matter, but I found L3 harder than L2 harder than L1.Levels 1 and 2, I knew I had passed (and left the exam room way early), and passed easily.L3, I passed

I did. In my opinion, L2 is harder than L3 material-wise but L3 was just long.

sat for l2. quite challenging as expexted, in my opinion harder than the mock exam. topics i expected to be "scoring cash cows" maybe haven´t been that rich. if somebody is expert in developing tough exams then it´s cfai.
