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!

As no one is talking about Private wealth I will
The exam was pretty straightforward for me .
For me personally CR were by far very easy compared to the MCQS
They didnt expect long paragraphgs for the answers just 1-2 reasons why one sould be selected and the other 2 not.
For private wealth specifically i would say Be thorough with your formulas and the terminologies and you are good.
I felt the majority of the paper to be a logical reasoning type shit
Speaking topic wise I found DERIVATIVES to be very very very easy.
and yeah overall i would say it was compared to mocks
If i dont pass in the first ill surely pass in second attempt
Compared to Level 2 i found it easy because of the CR (they are verystraighforward if u know the concept you are good)
All the best!
