bmeisner Yeah but the tests in Asia are on Sunday morning not Saturday morning. Sunday morning in Asia is Saturday evening in New York. I'm taking the exam in Singapore so if anyone wants to share exam questions... ;)
TammTamm This was one of the easiest questions I've read. There should be more like this on the test :)
AUAU I guess 45% Qs in the actual exam like this but it is little rather bit confusing.

johntan1979 Some of you guys should just apply for the other designation... Cheating Financial Analyst.

You don't have what it takes to be a respectable Chartered Financial Analyst.
