I registered for the exams liao... $1074 USD.
the passing rate for Singapore is 39% and 35% globally.
7 books to cover: 2 thick, 2 thin and 3 so-so according to Ka Ren.
==========
It took me about 4 days to make the decision to take this exam. Indeed very hesitant and unlike the usual me who is usually very decisive. The main reason holding me back is the amount of effort needed to self-study because this is going to be most difficult exam for a professional certification I’ve ever taken. Just by the passing rate alone, u can judge how not easy this exam is and furthermore, it is in Finance and not IT. Initially, I wanted to have more time for the rest of this year for myself, friends, family and ‘mei rens’.
Just this year alone, I had a very busy semester for my masters, never ending assignments and exams. I passed PMP certification exams, and a few Microsoft ones.
I could have chosen to take the exam in June 09 (only available in Jun and Dec annually) but next year onwards, I’ll have my final year thesis and possibly going to the campus itself if I can successfully get the electives I want.
After a tough battle within myself, I decided to take it this year… not now then when right? Have to give up some time for fun and pleasure.
This quote had served me well at times like this: “You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.”
Furthermore, this exam is not cheap. I need to discipline myself and spend a lot time to make sure I pass.
