taking Level 1 on Saturday, if you finish the exam with more than 30 mins left, can you leave early? thanks
yes
Depends, the proctors will hunt you down if you dare try to get out of there within 30 minutes of the end. In fact, they now carry tasers. If you finish with more than 30 minutes to spare, you are fine.
thanks guys, heard the proctors are tough. appreciate the quick response. good luck to everyone who is taking it.
Unless you have this stuff down stone cold, why leave early? Still, I was scoring well into the 80’s in the practice exams in Level I, finished both parts in ~2 hours and spent the last hour reviewing everything. Don’t get bonus points for leaving early

I left with over an hour on LI AM/PM - the proctor asked me if I was returning in the morning one. Passed >70 in all but two (doubt the same will occur on the II, both with respect to time left and scoring). If you’re just going to sit there, why not leave? If you think you’ll benefit from reviewing your answers, stick around. Note: Leaving early and scoring >70 in all but two sections does not guarantee superior performance.

I suggest to sit tight and look straight down on your desk. Try not to make eye contact with protectors. Try not to attract unnecessary attention.
ha ha, yes you can.

Level II PM last year I blew through the exam, and on questions I wasn’t sure of, tried to eliminate at least one answer. Got through it all, then went back and spent 30 seconds on each 50/50 shot trying to reason through it. Finished those in five minutes, went through and made sure I filled out all the bubbles, and I was ghost. 3:15, like a boss. Live an hour away from the testing center, and I had time to run to the head shop, pick up a new bong and be smoking it on my couch before they said “pencils down”. That’s how it’s done, ladies and gents.

They checked me several times last year. Quite disturbing when you try to concentrate, and these people come and start looking through everything you have on your table, they even opened a pencil sharpener.
I spent a total of 6 hours on level 1 and level 2, combined. I will probably use most of the 6 hours on level 3…

Man you’re so cool. You must be one of those cool kids we spot walking out with their chests pumped feeling all smart and pretty.

But yes, I’m both smart and pretty…to quote Muhammed Ali, “I’m pretty like a girl”. Now do me a favor and go get your fucking shine box. On another note, good luck to everyone taking exams on Saturday - I’m outta here.
