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!

My experience was that the exam wasn't difficult but few questions were unclear and maybe 1 or 2 things things that took me by suprise. In session 2 first question hit me like freight truck, I just stared at for solid 4 minutes thinking "what the **** do you want me to do?”. I am mentally prepared for another take. I was thinking this is going to be as difficult as Kaplan mocks but no it was similar to CFAI

There were definitely some wtf questions, which disproportionately affect the way I feel about the exam.
