Is it normal to feel totally under-prepared?

CFA Level III
#41

I built a whole set of analytics to help with understanding weak points, assessing how I was doing, and managing my time. If I indeed pass, I will build a presentation on it for my local society.

I am surprised at how much some people’s scores varied on mocks. Mine were all between 67 and 78%, with a clear upward trend.

I took in person classes for level 1 and 2. The people I saw who were taking level 3 with me were disproportionately the calm students. There were a couple of people who quit jobs to study for level 1. Didn’t see them at level 3.

I’m curious about others’ impressions of people they took classes with. Any clear patterns of who passed and who didn’t?

I was feeling very confident after writing AM, i thought it was easier than expected (every question i felt was clear, straight forward and fair) but i was super nervous coming out of the PM i thought i did horrible.

Of course, as it turned out, it was the complete opposite, AM scored way worse than PM!!!

Story for a lot of candidates and charterholders apparently.
