Pass!
Many have claimed 3/3 here and congrats to them. I’d like to go one better and not only claim 3/3 but also that I left every exam (morning and afternoon session) at least 1/2 hour before the end.
Personally I think bigger congrats need to go out to those enduring souls who had to read Fail on at least one of these emails and had the courage and tenacity to pick themselves up and try again. To those of you who have taken this path and finally got an L3 pass today, I SALUTE YOU!!

I am wondering if anyone has ever experienced results similar to the scores I posted below. I did not exactly hit a home run in Item Set, but, the scores are not bad. I am assuming my essay scores reflect either a mistake I experienced with either the exam format, or a scoring issue. Does anyone have an experience with retabulation?

tulkuu- congrats!
and thanks for all the help along the way!
WE DID IT!
I failed each level twice before I passed and am happy to say I am finally done the exams.
Obviously I am not the smartest person, but I think I am in the position to give a tip in how to complete the program.
Its an hours game, if you set aside enough time you will pass. Its a matter of keeping the discipline.
Congratulations everyone.
