I passed, whew!
I don’t feel the same elation I felt when I passed L2, but rather, just a sense of relief and “Glad that’s over with.”
Scores in AM were 6 Qs at 70%+ and 5 Qs at 51-70%.
Scores in PM were 7 topics at 70%+ and 1 topic at 51-70%.
Schweser material and practice exams were very helpful.
Failed . Band 3. Will regroup and try again!
Weird. I had a dream I checked the email and I passed. Then I quit the computer checked again and passed. Woke up, checked my phone. No results. Then low and behold, I go to work, and find out I failed. band 8. FML. See you all next year at LA. We’ll bag and tag next year, no worries.

band 9 last year, this year i passed.
I was so sure I passed last year, I walked out of the exam 30 min early and told everybody i was gonna pass.
This year I sat till the last min of the exam and checked quesetions over and over again.
for those of you that are failing L3 the first time, dont give up, second time around is much easier. you will not need nearly as much time.
Don’t trust Schweser for AM, their essay questions are Fxxxed up. Use past papers!
