I was a little shock when I saw my recent result of my CFA level 1. It was quite a challenging exam being almost practically a 6 hour exam. To add on the fact that my work at the bank barely afford me time to study (working from 8.30am - 9pm) on most days...squeezing in about 1 hour from 11-12pm after a 10pm dinner.
It was an amazing journey. I felt I didn't do enough, yet I still managed to pass despite the tough circumstances. I guess some key factors that helped were:
1) My university background as a finance student
2) My passion and continual learning for the capital markets/ financial news
3) My family and friends who were rather supportive during this period of time
One step closer to earning the charter! I made some plans to work on my weak points being Financial Reporting and Analysis and Derivatives.
