I really hope I pass so maybe I can relax. Ive been a bundle of nerves since I walked out of hte room.
Nice to see you back caspian.
Thanks man. After the test, I couldnt hang around here and do what I did after Level 2; go over every question only to find out Im on the border of passing which I couldve told you anyway. And besides, Im on the verge of getting a ginormous promotion at work which takes up all my time in terms of the extra workload. that said, Im back for the week. Im anxious, Im nervous and Im ready to find out my fail band is 10!
Caspian, That is exactly what I am scared of FAIL Band 10…that would totally demoralize me… I much rather fail miserably than be band 10… but hopefully we all passed…
I concurred, my stomach is in complete knot. Good luck to all!
ooh this is a yucky thread, band 10 would be soo bad and now that i said that i’m scared that i just jinxed myself… 
congrats/good luck on the promotion. i wouldn’t really call my own situation a promotion, but my role on my team would expand pretty significantly if i passed this thing… in fact. it would be really really bad if i failed. vomitting has begun.

Team overlord if you pass?
well. yeah. how did you know? it’s uncomfortable if i don’t pass because they already fitted me for the crown i get to wear when i’m at work.
In the same position as caspian and cfasf1. My responsibilities have been increased and the MD is asking for the results everytime he meets me. He is ready to treat the department if I pass. Feeling the pressure at work and for the results.
I guess I am in a better position. In my team, no one cares if I pass or fail. We have bunch of Phd s in my team and for some reason they think that CFA program is a joke. But I am still so nervous and I really do not want to spend one more minute/dollar on this program. Just want to get out of this s**t.
I have a friend who failed in Band 10 last year. This person was a top 5% university graduate from a top Canadian school (accounting & finance commerce undergrad) and achieved national honour roll on the final Chartered Accountant examination, which is around the top 2% - 3%. That said, he severely underprepared for Level 3 last year. It really comes down to how well you have prepared and your nerves on exam day.

knowing the material is one thing…executing the plan on exam day is another
I’ve thought about this three times in the last two months.
2-3 days ago someone asked if I was nervous about getting my results. In all honesty I said “no,” almost just like tapping in a 2 inch put brings no grief to the soul. Yesterday I was asked again and thought about it again this morning…to which a slight shot of adrenaline kicked off. If I don’t pass, the FAIL band is irrelevant for me. I’m going to swing hard for the fences again if I must.

If I was going into the ring with Tyson I wouldn’t be any more pumped than Monday morning.
MWVT9- I’m sure I’ll be on fire come Monday and Tuesday morning. I plan to go for a run on both days in an attempt to calm the nerves. I’m sure I’ll have some of my best running times all year.

As long as I don’t see a FAIL like i did for the 2007 L2 exam where i think we both had c.65% on the old 40/60/80 rule even if you aced the exam you still have the same doubts
