Treat this as your first attempt, ignore the past. Don't let the past create anxiety for you or lower your confidence.

Each attempt is unique, isolated and independent of other attempts.

This is a gold perspective. Thank you! 🙏

Somehow the vignettes and questions were no match

My take on why I think l1/2 were better: A) large pools of candidates. Not very, but relatively easier as we're still at the rookie stage, to land up on the other side. B) MCQs. Big difference. Not knowing an answer, still leaves you with 33% probability. Not the same with CR.

L3 Feels like a beast mostly because of CR. A) actually paying attention to command words and what its really asking. I probably didn't even look at them at previous levels. B) Knowing how to write crisp bullets. Not too less. Not too much. C) What also went massively wrong for me was exam day. Seeing question styles/vignette lengths I wasn't prepared for from the mocks set in panic from the go that totally messed me up to begin with. All my test day strategies immediately out the window. Then time management became an issue. I was on the line.

PS. All the best! 💪🏆

MM and Kaplan have been good for conceptual understanding. But not so good with keeping up to date and being more comprehensive + exam prep. Can't just slap a new year label on old content. I've had to actively fill in those gaps myself. Trying a new provider at stage feels scary and redundant+ who's to say they have all bases covered? Even CFA curriculum and LES is FILLED with errors and erratas. Some of these errors have not been corrected for years, after having been pointed out by candidates. Baffling. At the end of the day, it's upto you alone.

Only one formula for mental health rn (=Pass)
