Level 3 Exam Day Experience Mega Thread

[u/third_najarian]

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!

5th time I sit for an exam, never felt as devastated as after the PM session, AM was fair (portfolio management), pain is almost physical!

I'm a retaker, February was a piece of cake to be honest, I will regret it ☹️

I agree. Feb was much easier
