Bleron did it in about two weeks and then got panned on LII and we haven’t heard from him again. Bleron is a really smart guy and cocky as hell. I did it in less than a month, but I had an extensive background and spent considerably longer on LII and LIII. To be honest, the exams have gotten more difficult since (although study aids are better too). Cramming like that for this exam is doable but stupid. Theere are three exams and you need to study to pass all of them.

Friend, I got airheaded & was fooling around with ya’all this afternoon, wanted to break the boredom of a yet another dull work-week and the cataclysmic equity markets by hearing some witty comments. I have already cleared L1 in Dec-07 and being from an IT background it took me close to 5 months of immense hardwork and sleepless nights to seal the deal. Also gave L2 in Jun-08 but did not manage to clear it in my 1st attempt, will be retaking it again Jun-09 (hopefully the final attempt). Got a new job a month ago and wanted to put my official id to good use 
also my old id was very revealing. And what’s better than 2 accounts on AF, you double the fun either sides. I mean 2:1 leverage. All the luck for all you peeps, this indeed is a breadth-taker exam, but all gets paid off with a PASS on the screen on the R-day. I have no good work to do before I hit the L2 books again next year. Till then will be vagabonding across the forums. Also wanted to admonish you guys of some future didoes tricks that L2’ers are good at doing. Creating fake ids and posting on Nov-25th whether L1 “Is it still doable?” Enjoy your Halloween and always opt for “treat” and leave the “trick” part to Af’ers.

That was indeed some mirror talk between me and d.s
Both should be BANNED immediately!
swaption - get a girlfriend. someone that does this really needs to get laid.
Hmmm! I don’ t find that funny man!!! Especially for those who are studying and sitting for LI soon. I don’t know if u agree with me guys. May be u should do something else to have more fun.
Hahaha, I found it funny. Relax dudes, you’ll need a sense of humor to get through this monster.
Swanny - I miss you L3 guys so much. We had such a good time here, light moments along with intense esoteric discussions at brobdingnagian depths. I still dream about that 10 page swap thread and banni doing the cartwheel after the valuating the (fixed-for-floation) currency swap Damm… why do I have to fail this thing? Fellas - Chill, I know the exam is round the corner and wanted to break the boredom, though an unsuccessful attempt. All the Luck, you gotta knock this in Dec and study L2 with me in Jun-09.
Amen brotha!
lulz…too classic.
