Passed! Got >70 in all except one AM question, and 2 PM sets which were all middle category. Knew I did well on essay, but I expected very tough grading, so I was obviously pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for all the help over the past ~3 years, everyone! And congrats to all who passed!
I passed.
Cannot believe it what a great feeling. Everyone told me before CFA L3 is easy but actually of all exams I wrote, it was the hardest , since you do not know how the am session is graded.
I have really studied hard for it as most of us and scored much higher in all the mock exams compared to the actual exams.
Thanks to all who supported me on this journey. Amazing team!!!
congrats paul1977 and mpearc4

Feels good man
Passed!
It feels so great to pass with the first attempt! Thanks for those good words in the AF to encourage me in the long waiting process.
Passed
The AM grading is tougher than I expected though. Was super confident when walking out of the AM session. PM was also below my expectation.
Nevertheless, very happy to have passe after all the hard work and anxiety and sleepless nights.

How did you prepare for it mainly Schweser? or CFAI books?
Thank you
Passed as well…
2010 Passed Level 1
2011 Failed level 2 Band 10
2012 Failed level 2 Band 7
2013 Passed Level 2 ( was my last attempt)
2014 Passed Level 3
Fulfilled Promise.
I screwed around at univeristy and graduated with a 3 year BA in 5 years cuz of droping courses and bad friends. When I graduated i had no job reality kicked in. My family supported me my wife and mom through those times and kept making me belive I can do it and I prayed a lot to Allah to pass me. Praying 5 times a day gave me the discipline in life i never had. Everything is possible through God if you truly belive and ask him and only him…
To all who failed … Do not give up…
Passed.
18 months total. Level 1 in December 2012, Level 2 in June 2013, Level 3 in June 2014. Level 2 and 3 were very narrow pass each time - means I took care not to over-study 
Gotta tell you… It feels goooooooood!!!
That is a PASSSSS!!! All 3 leveles at first attempts! Now it’s time to get some life back 
Thank you all guys for you help and patience (some of you were here with me thorugh all these time since L1)!
And many congratulations for those who made it!! Those who don’t, keep your eyes on the prize and you gonna make it in 10 months! No worries about that!
Relieved. . Passed
passed …it feels good!!! gonna celebrate tonight!
Passed on 2nd attempt at level 3, my advice would be not to give up, learn from the mistakes.

Thank you cguttuso8190 and itsmclovin, if I did not see how you guys were absolutely tearing it up with those practice exams, I certainly wouldn’t have been as motivated so I owe you guys big time!

Passed 3/3, phew.
Thanks for all the fish, AF.
