Paul is taking the CFA Level I in December and for months I've been trying to prod him into studying when he gets home from work.
I was telling him just now that I'm thinking about using his books to study for the CFA so that maybe I can take the Level I next December. I tend to be a better test taker than him so he was alarmed by this.
He told me he was getting off the phone to study.
If I'd known all along all he needed was a little healthy competition I would have threatened to take the test ages ago.
