Re-Writing CFA Level 2 - Attempt #2
Hey what's going on everyone, in today's video I discuss the trials and tribulations it takes to re-write a CFA exam. In particular I wrote CFA level 2 again last Friday after failing it in August 2021. As usual, these videos are designed to help anyone else who may being going through the struggle of the Chartered Financial Analyst program. This video is in no way meant to shame or bash the CFA institute but rather to reinforce the level of difficulty and mental toughness it takes to get through their program.

    I think you can make sport "betting" investing. Particularly if you can make a successful career out of it. I guess it's nominally called betting and gambling as that is what the typical person is in it for.

    Bro you truly didn't make the right effort to pass. 1. You barely passed L1, so came without a solid background 2. You only studied 350 hours for an exam that you should at least put 500. Give it a third round, do it the right way, and celebrate your acomplishment. You got this!
