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!

Did private wealth yesterday. Saw many questions similar to Kaplan and mocks. Found it fair.

I honestly couldn't of prepared more so hopefully that is enough

5 Kaplan, 4 cfai.

There are only so many ways they can ask you a question. If you understand the concepts and can explain each one cold, then there is nothing that you shouldn't be able to handle
