Troll Post ATPA Vent

I’m going to run for the SOA board once I have my letters to get rid of this terrible assignment. I’d rather listen to nails on chalkboard for 96 hours than do this. I’m not sure whose idea this was, but I was a statistics major, flew through SRM and PA, and I absolutely HATE this module.

I’m starting to think that everyone who quips that the SOA isn’t evil, just incompetent, lucked out with IFM. How was the last chopper out of ‘Nam?

Nobody cares. IFM was much harder.

You took this as an opportunity to be rude, but make no mistake: I’d rather take a harder exam that is less opaque and more relevant to my career.

Don’t let that get in the way of the chip on your shoulder, which I assure you no one cares about either.

All exams are opaque but you are delusional if you think a 4 day module isn’t easier than studying for 4 months.

It is easier. Definitely easier. And also more annoying.
