Once in a while, I think about August 9th and I get a funny feeling in the stomach.
Wondering for those who have been there before or have passed L3, what is your experience like and what can you suggest to do on August 9th to stay calm?
thanks

I was watching Band of Brothers when I got my results. Got my results, found out I passed, celebrated for 20 minutes, then went back to Band of Brothers. Great miniseries.
 
I’ll probably have been sitting on the throne for a while before that email comes in.
 
This is actually all part of CFAI’s plan to keep the number of charterholders down, most people think they try to do this by making the tests difficult. Really they just wait until people pass level III, at which point many will either have a heart attack or die from lack of oxygen as they forget how to breathe.
Just a reminder the pass statistics do not include people that didn’t take the exam and are net of CFA induced fatalities (for all levels).
 
my bud got her actuarial exam result via text message this morning unexpected (she was expecting an email or web post) haha good thing it’s a pass! lol If CFAI does this to me, I might end up with a heart attack lol
 
I’ve thought about it every day since. Many nightmares of failing vs only one dream I passed. I’m at work that day so hopefully I’ll be kept busy enough until 2pm UK time when I get my results. Hoping, wishing, praying for a pass!! I worked so hard but your performance on the day is the only thing that counts so fingers crossed I did enough on the day, it was my birthday after all. I mean i dont think the exam went very well but didnt go very badly either, i genuinely have no idea how i did unlike lv1 and lv2 when I knew I’d passed, which makes me lean towards a fail… Last year i was in the bath waiting for lv2 results listening to guns n roses lol! Best of luck everyone
 
lol. those monitors?! Pass rates were much higher in the 80s. great ad.
I hope I jump in exictment too on 9th.
