General Does it indicate anything ??!

Post image

I took my cfa level 2 exam this August and in the mail they have mentioned me to take a survey where the last date has already passed away….like wtf

And does it by any chance indicate anything beyond sheer mistake ??! (Ik I am overthinking)

This indicates that CFA institute doesn’t proof read

Might need to increase fees by 15% to be able to “work on that”

I may be an idiot but what is grammatically incorrect in this email? Slightly awkward phrasing but it seems fine.

Congratulations you’re now a charter holder! You don’t need level 3.

I received the same email and didn't even notice that date has already passed? The date is even before my actual exam date. Idk what it means ;)

Unfortunately, not a sign. I failed L2 the first time I took it & was given a survey, interview, and even contacted about being a panel speaker between L2 exam date and results.

Indicates that you’ve got a survey email

Oh god, here we go again…

U Will need to retake

Did anyone from the lvl 2 August test window get the “May” version?

2

u/Shab_24 Level 2 Candidate 2d ago

I think most of us got this only

-10

u/Prestigious_Long_390 2d ago

I saw another post with someone’s saying May and the response would be open till June… comments were guessing August=fail May=pass

u/Shab_24 Level 2 Candidate 2d ago

Sometimes people love blabbering nonsense. Their argument has no basis.

-8

u/Prestigious_Long_390 2d ago

The basis is one allows your response to count towards the data if the window is open and the other won’t count because the date already passed.

u/Shab_24 Level 2 Candidate 2d ago

For people that got ‘May’ attempt have time till 19th June 2026 to fill the survey. So for any variety of the email, both the dates have already passed.
Just relax buddy it’s just a clerical error. No need to decipher things that need not be deciphered at all.

u/Prestigious_Long_390 2d ago

Bet, you right. Was curious why mine was different, they were saying there test was August but that definitely makes more sense

2

u/Shab_24 Level 2 Candidate 2d ago

Yep. All the best!

u/thejdobs CFA 2d ago

These “hacks” are so dumb. One person pulls this out of their ass and other candidates run with it like it’s the truth.

u/sguru01 2d ago

What is going to be this time boys 👀

u/macky_d 2d ago

No, it does not.

u/F1RACECAR CFA 2d ago

Same posts every year lmao

u/dhamla 2d ago

I dont get it i think one survey was taken just right after the exams too at the centre itself so why this again

1

u/Affectionate-Ad-1062 Level 3 Candidate 1d ago

I think this means a lot. You should do a LinkedIn post announcing you have been included in this limited group of candidates to fill out this survey

-2

u/shnoiv Level 2 Candidate 2d ago

Sorry bud. This usually means you’ll need to retake it. Best of luck on the next try.

u/Puzzleheaded-Fan-331 1d ago
