London morning 8.30am- lock out

[NANA_Hachiko]

I feel your pain!

That’s why i go there super early, actually i would make sure before the exam i know exactly which room i will be entering and from which entrance, taking what transportation to get there, etc…

It happens to the best of us, don’t let this wear you down!

BEST OF LUCK!

Should have gotten there earlier. Sounds like a user error.

itj, that comes across rather dogmatic. I wonder if you know the venue at all- I’m open to different opinions such as the perspective from burkinshaw, who had a similar experience but had a different view.

I suppose you arrive 3 hours early for all your flights, as per official requirements…

You’re the type of person that doesn’t follow rules and then blames everyone else when punished for breaking them. Try acting like an adult and take ownership. CFAI are very clear with their rules about exam arrival and doors being locked. If you don’t like them, don’t sign up for the exam.

are you referring to self attribution bias?

ha, ha You seem a little vexed Shoot85? As a pedant, you should also adhere to your code of ethics treating your other participants in the global capital markets program with respect! Since you seem to know me so well, you will also appreciate I normally have a PA to do these matters, a wife to cook my food and mother to wash my laundry

I’m not “vexed”, just telling it like it is. There are those that take ownership in faults and learn from them. Then there are those that instinctively try to find someone else to blame. One of those groups will get ahead in life.

My experience in Los Angeles was not stressful, but merely strange. At the lunch break, they closed all of the bathrooms near the exam buildings, and said the nearest open ones were about a 10 minute walk away.

that’s just cruel!!! haha

DC i had to find parking that was open at 6 am / before 7 am that wasn’t like $50. ended up having to walk a little got in a little after 7 and tried to read a little. my brain was so tired of reviewing i just sat there till the test. But came the test I was like a crazy beast and went HAM on that morning section.

@onlysimon

i’ve sat at excel 3x. I remember waiting at kensington tube at 5:30 waiting for gates to open to get first district line…(yea i failed)

anyway this year was milan & woke up at 4am, parked the car at 6am, 2nd into the hall at 8:01

if you dont want to be last, its pretty easy to be first… even losers like me can manage it

hope the new venue gets you over the line, good luck onlysimon
