I took the CMA exam today and failed it by two questions. I mixed up the basic economic concept of appreciating currency and I did awful on the financial section. I was trying to think of ways to spin this as not too bad, but I wanted to pass this test quite badly and it didn’t happen. This was a big disappointment, a fairly humbling experience.
Thought: Lack of preparation caused this.
