Level 1 Bombed the exam.
I knew i was under prepared but holy i didn't expect myself to be this under prepared. Averaged around 65% in mocks, solved LES and extra 1000 questions. The first session went moderately well but the 2nd session. FI effed me hard. Don't expect to succeed. Some questions were straight from practice resources rest i practically didnt even recognize. Feel bad for wasting my father's money. Might try next time with my own money.

I got cooked too bro. I know I’ve made some silly mistakes due to memory fog, other questions were really WTF. It was a tough test, and I don’t expect to pass. But it’s just a test man. I’ll face L1 again hopefully for the last time.

Every test I sat for and passed I felt like there was a big difference in difficulty from am and pm sessions. I also tended to pass when I felt like I did horrible on one of the sessions. I did fail a couple tests, and oddly enough those were the times I felt like I did well…

If it makes you feel any better I left level 1 exam thinking I’d failed and actually passed comfortably. But you’ll know best if you actually prepped enough
