Can you share a specific CFA exam day horror story?

A particular horror story involves a candidate who had a family emergency right before the exam. They were already stressed from studying, and this added more pressure. They still tried to take the exam but couldn't focus properly. As a result, they failed. After that, they had to deal with both the disappointment of failing and the family situation, which was really tough.

One horror story is arriving late. A friend of mine had a flat tire on the way to the exam center. By the time he got there, he was already flustered and behind time. He then realized he left his calculator in the car in the rush. It really messed up his start to the exam.

One horror story could be arriving late. Maybe there was a traffic jam or a problem with public transport. Missing even a few minutes can be really stressful as you're trying to calm down and start the exam. Another could be having technical issues with the calculator. Suddenly it stops working properly during the exam and you have to figure out what to do quickly.

Technical glitches can be a real horror. Like the power going out in the exam center. This happened to a group of candidates once. They had to wait for the power to come back on and then try to resume the exam. But the interruption really threw them off their rhythm, and they were worried about time management for the rest of the exam.

One success story is of John. He was working full - time while preparing for the CFA. He dedicated every weekend and evenings after work to study. He made a strict study plan and followed it religiously. He used flashcards to memorize formulas and practiced with past papers a lot. Eventually, he passed all three levels on his first attempt.

There was a law student who was always an average performer. He didn't expect much from himself in the final exams. However, on the day of the exam, he had a moment of clarity. He suddenly saw connections between different legal concepts that he had never noticed before. He applied these new insights in the exam and his answers were so outstanding that he got one of the highest scores in the class. It was a real miracle for him as he had never achieved such a high level of performance before.

There was a particular incident where some athletes were supposed to have proper training facilities. However, when they arrived, they found that the equipment was either broken or not set up correctly. This really affected their preparation for the games. It was a big disappointment for them as they had high hopes for training well in Sochi.

Sure. I heard about a guy who accidentally dropped his water bottle on the floor near the power rack. When he bent down to pick it up, another person started their set and almost dropped a heavy barbell on him. It was a really close call and could have been a serious accident.

Sure. There was a person who started using Anavar to get in shape quickly. After a few weeks, they noticed their skin getting really itchy all over their body. It was so bad that they couldn't sleep at night. They also started to have a hard time breathing, like there was a weight on their chest. Turns out, Anavar had caused an allergic reaction in their body that was affecting their lungs and skin.
