MFE Results

The MFE passing candidate numbers came out yesterday. My number was not on there, so I did not pass.

I am interested to see what my score was. Perhaps counter intuitively, I would rather see a 5 on there, confirming I did about as well as I thought I did on the exam. If I get a lower score than that, I didn't get correct many of the questions I thought I did.

My strategy right now is to study the C material as thoroughly as I can in July. I am going to try to make one pass through all the material without working practice questions. Then based on how I feel about the C material and what I think my chances of passing in October would be, I will decide whether I spend the next few months focusing purely on MFE, or if I give C a shot first and then take MFE again as well.

I think it might be a little silly to try to do both exams, and maybe I would be trying to do too much for a person with a family and a full time job. On the other hand, I also think trying to get that done would motivate me to focus on it every day. Either way, I think once I get my MFE score and see how I feel about the C material after a pass through, the path will become pretty clear.
