1st time.... sooooo sweet.

Is anyone out there taking course 8R & 8P? I'm thinking of only taking the smaller part of the exam (8p) this sitting and 8R next year. Any thoughts on breaking them up in this way? I heard a lot of people do this and I don't want to try to take both if that would mean failing them both.

C6 2000 - 5
C6 2001 - 5
C6 2002 - Pass

So, for those of you who missed out, just keep at it. If I had to rank the degree of difficulty from most to least it would be:
2001 (most)
2000
2002 (least)

So, ASA at last.

I sat 8P last year because could not stomach 8R & 8P after C6 failure. So the result was C8P = 5. It may be an option to take 8P and maybe do C7 if you have not already done C7 ? Entire C8 is alot more work than C6 or C5 so might be a bit late starting now.

Peter Pan, are you saying I can take C8 before taking C5 or C6? How about C7 before C5 and C6? I always thought you have to be an ASA (having passed C1 -6) before you can take either C7 or 8?

:o

As far as the rules go I don't think there is anything that says you cannot take C8 before C5 or C6. However, would think if you are taking C8 in say Investments, then it is wise if you have first passed C6.

As far as C7 - you cannot complete it prior to ASA.

I passed! And I'm looking to see who else passed, especially the ones who helped out by posting questions and answers starting way back in January (Zapped, where are you?).

Those of you (65%! that's tough) who weren't so lucky - I've been trying to pass this stupid thing since Nov. 1998, so if I can pass it, you can, too!

Now back to 8I . . .

I passed. and I took the APC on Friday, so I'll be an ASA. I felt more confident on this one than any exam I've taken. So today I get the results, and I bet it will just be a 6.

MC was my weakest area, and I was worried I would flunk on that. I felt like I got full credit or very close to it on every essay question.

so it goes.
