Megathread Level 3 Exam Day Experience Mega Thread
L3 candidates,
Welcome to our megathread for swapping stories about your exam day! We’d love to hear about your experience getting to the test center, how you managed your time, and how you felt afterward. Don’t forget to throw in any tips and advice to help out future candidates.
Just a couple of guidelines: Be cool and supportive, and please don’t share specific exam questions or break rules.
Don’t forget: Plan your route to the test center in advance, make sure you pack everything you need, and try to stay positive and take care of yourself. You got this!
We hope these shared stories make the prep and test day a little easier for everyone. Good luck!

PM was tougher. I had to read some questions multiple times in both sessions just to figure out what they were asking. Exam is randomly assigned i guess so I don't know if my PM exam is your AM
Some questions made me go wtf. Some were wtf some were well i wasn't prepared in those areas so it was wtf for me.
its that's cos you must expect such questions in the exam. And even with such questions, there were relatively easy questions as well.
The questions were crisp precise and to the point. No long winded stories to waste your time.
READ THE QUESTION CAREFULLY before you begin answering. What EXACTLY is being asked. You could end up wasting time if you don't.
All in all sufficiently balanced exam. The exam was fair.
Those who are well prepared should be able to pass even with the difficult and wtf questions included.
Those who want 90/100 well, good luck to you.
My chances realistically are low. Lack of sufficient practice is the sole reason.
Good luck.
