Yeah I was shocked to hear about that after I had taken the test in Lahore.
 
There was a guy a couple rows in front of me who looked like he had not left his mom’s basement in about 8 years that would randomly let out giant sighs and random “oh my god!” as he would start a new item set. Thankfully I had ear plugs and couldn’t hear him that well but other people were complaining.
There was also a really lound wind noise the entire time because the door to the room was left part way open, sounded like a tornado, in the afternoon someone asks the 80 year old proctor if we can close the door to stop the wind howling, the proctor looks at him and says he doesn’t hear anything even though it was loud as shit, everyone laughed but then quickly stopped in fear of the proctor doing something crazy like writing them up.
The key to avoiding all of this, ear plugs, and I saw very few people wearing them which I find surprising
 
Delhi Center:
>One dude reaches the entry door at around 8 45AM, waiting to be let in. Needless to say, he was asked to f-off.
>Really old man was taking the exam, visually around 65 years plus. That too Level 1. Why would such an old person want to take the L1 exam?
>A lot of people in front of me didn’t stop writing even after they were asked to stop, I guess they got away with a rap on the knuckle because the proctor just asked them to stop writing and proceeded to collect the answer booklets immediately after.
>A lot of people were discussing the questions immediately after the exam.
Crazy.
 
Girl in front of me appeared to have gotten pretty shaken up during the first part of the exam, and looked like she was about to pass out as she stood up to go to the bathroom, the proctors had to help her, she almost passed out. Went out of the room and came back 5 minutes later and seemed fine. It was odd.
 
That’s pretty bad! I am assuming you are in Karachi. Is it due to Karachi airport attack? What are they going to do with your exams? The institute cannot let you waste one more year.
 
in kansas city, all 3 levels were held in the same ballroom with a few hundred people in there. during the lunch break, we all found out the hotel automatic sliding doors to leave were broken and that everyone would need to leave single file through the rotating door.
now i know what herding cattle feels like. good thing i was near the front…
 
I was in KC, too. Glad I left early both sessions, that would have been a funny sight to see everyone filing through that rotating door.
 
When I took L1, there was a guy next to me that sounded like he had some sort of communicable lung disease (coughed a lot). Luckily I had nuclear-strength earplugs.
But it evened out - for L2 I had the extremely hot proctor with very little fabric between neck and hemlines. Nice distraction.
 
Took it in Houston, TX
One of our proctors was a total milf and she kept whispering good luck! and relax! when walking around my table. Both distracting and eye catching. The other proctor you could tell was completely new to CFA procedures and she messed up my seat assignment by not putting the letter on my ticket until after both sessions were done. I don’t know if this will affect anything but still…
One thing I noticed, I took level 1 in the same center in December and I was shocked to see that the December session was way more packed than this past saturday’s session.
I mean December consists solely of level 1 takers and retakers where as June would have level 1, 2 and 3 takers / retakers. But the hall was only about 2/3 packed as it was in December.

no it is quite unrelated to the airport incident which happened after the Actaul exam but there is some news that exam is infact going to take place this coming saturday so there is some hope
 
Another candidate sitting next to me got an feat attack & fallen off from seat, in PM exam, we all got disturbed for 5 min, all proctor has rushed, medical care person has attended him, I thought in no way he can write the exam, but he taken gatorade & started writing again & he finished the exam, But I was really worry that I will be unable to finish, but somehow finished Just in time with rapidly answering theory questions.
