So I just wrote CA1 for the 4th time now. And so that's the third time I've paid for it out of pocket. So it's cost me something like 1600 Pounds out of pocket
. I've had an FC, and 2 FB fails so far.
I've generally found it easier to write my answers down with time but I don't seem to have gotten too close to passing. If I don't pass I'll die. And if I get an FA I'll die more.
It's going to sound like a contradiction now. But let's say the the pass mark is somewhere between 55 and 60. The FB fails have meant that all I needed to do was get between 7 and 9 more marks - so that's between 14 and 18 more points on each paper. This kinda makes me sad. I mean, those marks have proven to be very costly to me now. And it's not like I don't understand CA1. I dislike this exam and don't think it's particularly useful. Most of us will only ever apply a small portion of what is in that exam because we tend have quite focused careers. And the stuff that is applicable to us every day? Obvious in practice! Or else someone's always there to remind you about things to consider. Or else Google. etc.
I'm tired of forking out for CA1, IFOA! It's too expensive. Most of my uni courses were cheaper and with those we get a semester of lectures, assignments marked and tutors to help push you over the line.
Not cool
