Great news! Congratulations!!!

I did and I remember it being cold, at least for Part 2. I was in a different room for Part 1 in the morning and it was fine.

What are your thoughts on difficulty of L2 vs. L1? I just read a thread on AF that makes it sound very scary.

FRA, if you mean Financial Reporting, that is my weak spot. But I think 4 months will be plenty of time to tighten everything up. I haven't at anything yet, including the percentage breakdown. Unfortunately without the BT CFA offering I will be using Brand X across the street.

This is starting to feel more stressful than the actual exams.

Haven't seen this many members online since November 15th. Happy New Year Everyone!

Clearly a real life example of operational risk!

With the amount of time you have to the exam I advise going through the GARP readings, the notes, and the BT videos. You never know where you might pick up a good nugget.

Make sure you at least take the middle package with the videos.

I am not with GARP or BT, so take this with a grain of salt, but I have read many statements that say the results will be released on January 2nd.

The waiting is the hardest part! http://southpark.cc.com/clips/dxitu0/cartman-cant-wait-3-weeks

Some more on the topic, and the history on what caused it. It started with the GFC and QE. https://gnseconomics.com/en_US/2019/12/14/repo-market-turmoil-staring-into-the-financial-abyss/
