So my trip to Mexico is basically set. Airfare, hotel, and transportation are all paid for, even the most important thing, who's going, is finalized. But, the trip is on the first week of June. So what's the problem? High schoolers are still in school, weather's going to be great, we miss typhoon season (apparently starts in July), and the Nucks aren't going to be in the Stanley Cup finals (cue bitterness) so I'm not missing anything.
The problem is the CFP exam is on June 14th. This leaves one week in between when I come back from my trip and when I have to take the biggest exam of my life which I have failed before. If I do decide to write the CFP exam I will definnitely study weeks before hand, borderline months beforehand, but taking a week break just before crunch time isn't the smartest move. Even if I do pass the CFP exam (by some miracle) I won't be able to put the letters on my business card until the same time next year (2 year requirement).
Should I do the smart thing, not take the exam and wait to take the one in November so I can properly study for it? Or should I suck it up, take it like a man and study hard before and after my trip? I have just under a week to decide if I want to fork over 5 bills to write the exam again. I'm leaning towards taking it in November but I really want to get it over with, and I don't think having a year in between exams is going to help much either.
April 14th is coming up fast, this wouldn't be such a hard decision if the test wasn't so ridiculously hard. Gah I hate you CFP!
