A couple things here:
Please note all: the inability to "smoke" the entire CFA is a problem, and not a small one. That is why here many people say practice practice practice for the CFA, in order of tests. And, failing any part of the CFA is a failure of the whole thing - so no small issue. In addition, recall please: your child is competing against the best-of-the-best, candidates who smoke every part of their applications are denied all the time. Some reapply and are appointed the following year.
Disappointing, yes. Strive for an excellent all-around CFA next year, or strive for that SAT to be 800/800, or a 36 ACT, or a leadership position, or another year of foreign language... whatever holds you back: go for it, with your nose to that grindstone. Let no one distract you! And, fencersmother allows 24 hours only of woe-is-me. That's it, not one more second. Now, get to work.
And from the old fencersfamily adage: Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.
aside from the same PT concerns. He did well, not great on the run, but not bad either and smoked everything else....so it made ZERO sense.
