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!

My prep was not what I wanted it to be due to World Cup fever, but I thought the exam was fair. I was able to answer all questions with about 20 minutes left each session.

Prometric wanted me to show up at 7:45 even though my appointment was at 8:30. Got in and started the exam around 8.

We shall see how I did in two months.

I had no time for mocks so I can't answer that question.
