> Overall the day went pretty much as expected however there were a few things that made the day interesting. First of all let me tell you that I had one of my best friends weddings the NIGHT BEFORE THE EXAM! I was a groomsman and the grooms oldest friend so there was no option to bail out. I didnt drink and got home after Midnight but at least I was able to have a little fun and I dont think it impaired my performance on the actual exam.

Or worse yet, they couldnt get the lights back on at all? All that work, postponed or canceled until the December exam? Luckily it was a relatively minor distraction if you were mentally focused enough to forget about it.

> Also, I was amazed at some of the canditates behavior just prior to and following the exams. Two guys behind me were discussing specific sections directly following the exam. Another guy brought his cell phone into the exam and before the PM session was openly texting. Proctors came around while he was texting and didnt say a word becuase they seemed only to care about your admission ticket and passport. Thankfully he put this phone away for the test.

> Anyway I think/hope I did pretty well, took the full 3 hours in the morning but finished in 2 hours in the afternoon. We shall see in July. Anyone else have an intersting story about their exam day experience.This happens whenever we want everything to go perfect, things mess up! Lol.
Up4Thank you!
Up3Hey all, I’m Vanessa. I’m a Level 1 candidate.
I’m looking forward for guidance as I will be giving my exam in December. 🙂Up3So when should I start? Like proper studying.
Up3This is all very helpful guys! Thank you.
Up3For me, Econ. Because I’ve never studied economics before. It’s very hard for me to understand what the hell’s going on in those graphs.
Up3Hey @Lagarta ! Thanks I’ve heard about that, I’ll definitely check it out now. Well I hardly have idea about the job market at the moment. You planning to apply?
Up3@Lagarta Oh that’s awesome, well best of luck! 😀
Up2And after reading it all, I think I should start studying as soon as possible! Wish me luck. 😀
Up1@jack Lots of opinions on Analyst forum regarding this. Check out http://www.analystforum.com/forum/s/cfa-forums/cfa-level-i-forum/91316752
Up0I asked the same question recently, the suggestions were to start ASAP because it is better to start early than late. That way we have extra time to prepare. And what you plan to do is exactly what I’m talking about.
Best of Luck!
