Ha… Just wait, that smile will go away pretty fast.

The smile was from someone who took L3 this past June.

It’s doable, but don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched.

I am also trying to finish in 18 months. I just opened the CFAI level 3 e-books, however, and I immediately got PTSD-related nausea. I’m not going to even *think* about this until January.

If you can’t do 3/3 in 18 months, you’re hacksaw. Oh it can be done… but only by the BSDs.
OK, seriously, take a little break before L3. But L3 was the hardest exam and you’ll need to be at your best on exam day, especially for the morning session, which is the trickiest part of the whole program.

Forgive me, for I do not know the depths of my own ignorance, but am I wrong to think L3 with 10 months to prepare is going to be much easier than L2 with 2.5 months?

Past performance does not guarantee future results. This is what I keep telling myself at each level. It’s a good mantra to bring you back down to earth and not get overconfident and reckless in your study habits.
