I passed Level III when I was 40.

That was 19 years ago.

Ghez, I didn’t know you were that old… The exam must have been super easy 19 years ago, huh

just turned 26. Sometimes I feel like I could have done this quicker but regardless, I’ll have 4 years of work exp by next exam date, which could be perfect timing.

Me too. 26 years old, and had to take L2 three times - but, I learned a lot about life during those two fk-ups.

We all gon’ make it brah… we all gonna make it… And breadmaker is going to make bread.

I am probably the oldest here. 60 years old (little younger than Nokia company) and about to sit for Level 3 next june

I sat for the level 3 in Boston. I saw a significant age difference between levels 1 and 3. I would estimate the average age of a level 1 candidate to be 26. There were a couple hundred level 3 candidates and I would guess the average age was around 37 or 38. Very few 20 something’s in my area. Lots of grey sideburns.just as many mid 50’s as mid 20’s if not more.

Ghez, I didn’t know you were that old young … The exam must have been super easy hard 19 years ago, huh

There; that looks better.

The exam I recall most vividly was Level II: we had to write out financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement) on a blank sheet. No multiple choice.

The one thing I recall most vividly about Level III was having to write out a recommended asset allocation for a client. None of this choose one of these four possible allocations and justify it drivel.

You mean three possible allocations Honestly I prefer to get a blank piece of paper and and write out a full IPS for a client and recommend an asset allocation…I do that on daily basis…that being said the sheer number of people writing this thing now would mean 12 months to get your mark back…which still be quicker than a decade of trying to get over the L3 hurdle (7 years break in there but still).

Oh yah I am 37 in a few months… so feel old compare to most of the young forum
