My I AM section got off to a terrible start as all 3 of my pens didnt work. Unbelievable as if god wanted to play a joke on me. In any event, that threw me off my game, tried to regroup. Based on my AM, pretty sure I’ll be retaking but at least will be better prepared next year.
did u have any back up?pencil?
I had pencils but still sitting there scratching all three pens and nothing coming out was pretty stressful. I wasnt sure if it was the paper or what. I was able to borrow a pen from someone else after 5 minutes of struggle.
hopefully the cfa gods give u one back 
Man that sucks… what are the chances!
andytrader - That sucks man. I had a horrible experience in the morning as well. My cab, which I had scheduled to come at 6:30AM that morning, never showed up. I wound up getting to my test center on time but I was pretty ampedup and not sure if I was going to make it.
All 3 of ur pen were down? Wow, that is out of describe.
U should buy some lottery…
did you check them before the exam ?
