How many times did you take the level 1 before passing it?
I came really close to passing twice and I don't know if I want to do it a third time or not

Same here! I did take the exam twice so far with the last attempt coming very close to the minimum passing score but I did register for the August attempt. I would be open to study together if you are available.

I think i did 3x before passing too. I didn’t have a finance background and i didn’t really know how to study. Also, my memory sucked and i struggled a lot with the memorization. Don’t let failure stop you, i passed level 2 similarly on the 3rd or 4th try i think but i was also working 85 hrs and my exam got canceled twice during Covid. I’m on level 3 and planning to only take this once since I’m not working 80 hrs anymore and i know how to study now.

If you were close i would just put in a little extra work to pass since you have most of the content down. It seems like a waste to give up when you’re close - at least that was my perspective when i failed

I took mark meldrum. He really teaches all the concepts. Memorize the formulas and know them cold. I went through th e exam and did all the questions i knew, finished in half the time and spent the remainder of the time going back and reviewing the ones i wasn’t sure about. For ethics, i used to go over those twice in any exam setting Bec they can be tricky.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Hi Fishes,
I had a technical discussion for HCL on 3rd Oct. It's been more than a week. I still haven't received a status on that interview. I have also received a "Resume shortlisted" mail from their careers app after a week.
Does it mean I'm selected? There's no intimation of the status at all. The HR don't reply on mails/calls.
Can anybody advise on this of they been through the same.
