2012 CFA Level 2: The Failure Club

[martin]

If you're not familiar with the way a "failure club" works you should
probably research it more before participating in this thread.

It is only by setting ourselves up for failure that we discover most
of life's limits are arbitrary, self imposed, and based on fear.

There are only two things that can stop us from passing in June.

1) I didn't put in the time & effort

2) I am not smart enough to pass this exam.

So that people can save the time reading your drivel about why you
might not pass.... Please just write "1" or "2" instead .



Who are you up against on LEVEL 2?

The 38% of People that passed level one.

Recreate the level 1 test room in your mind. Did many people around
you look stupid? Did many of the people around you look woefully
unprepared?


Now eliminate 3/5th of them in your head. Imagine you are competing
with the remaining 40% and that 3/5ths of you will be elimimated.


If you are like me, you fancy yourself "smart". You probably cut
corners on level 1 and passed with only ~150 study hours. You have
just over 100 days left to put in 300-400 hours worth of work. Can you
do it?

If not just write "#1". We don't care how "life got in the way", we
need someone to be in the 60% that fail. Think of yourself as a
functional piece of the "minimum passing score" compilation
