If you need 500 hours for level I to pass, you won’t pass level II.

This is a stupid comment. No reason for this nonsense.

This is not a stupid comment or non-sense. It is very true. This is not meant to be a troll. Its just a reality check. People seem to be very optimistic when it comes to these exams, but the reality is that the majority do not get through the 3 exams. The exact figures escape me but I think its around only 20% make it through. The reality is that Level I is just the “Entrance Exam”. If you struggle to pass level I, the likelyhood of passing levels II and III is very small. You shouldn’t try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

i am not sure if i agree with PalacioHill. I failed L1 after 4 months of prep. Then I passed L2 and L3 on first attempts. Working full time all along. The reason only 20% or so end up with a charter is because some may just quit after getting a job that is irrelevent or got into a masters program. just put in the hours and you’ll pass these exams is my opinion. Not going for a medical degree or masters in fin eng.

The exams are more about dedication than being smart.

Ditto. It’s a foot deep.
