Quick, someone pass me a brown paper bag!

Don’t mind me… I’m officially in a state of panic, thinking about all the exams I have coming up.

At this point, there is zero room for bad results, as I need all three PFP designation courses behind me by October 23. (I can’t write my CFP exam Dec 1 unless I provide them passing marks for the other exams by Oct 31)

So… Here’s my upcoming exam dates, for everyone playing along at home:

  • Sept 17 – PFSA (Personal Financial Services Advice) exam
  • Oct 1 – FP1 exam (Financial Planning I) = Certificate in Financial Services achieved
  • Oct 23 – FP2 (Financial Planning II) exam
  • Nov 12 – AFP1 (Applied Financial Planning I) exam (PFP qualifier)
  • Nov 26 – AFP2 (Applied Financial Planning II) exam (written, not multiple choice) = PFP achieved
  • Dec 1 – FPE1 exam (**first test of 2 for CFP designation… these can only be written June/Dec!)

If all goes well, I’ll be a PFP designate by December 1st, and a FPSC Registered Candidate for the CFP (which requires one more gruelling exam in June 2013).

Now, how to balance life, work and study? This will be a challenge. Likely? I’ll push aside most personal balance in the short term, knowing that this is now months and not years away to finishing my accreditations.

Phew.

YOUR TURN: What are you looking forward to, coming up? Let me live vicariously through you for a bit!
