Never hurt to give yourself a try. If you did manage to pass level 2, you will save a lot of time like doing your level 3. I say go for it. Never do anything with an undecided heart if you are prepared to have absolutely no life for one whole year.

For me the biggest obstacle from Dec L1 to Jun L2 is getting going right away once you receive your L1 passing results in late Jan. If you take a week to celebrate, another week to debate jumping into L2, then ordering it and taking another week to get the books, all of a sudden it's pushing late February and you haven't cracked a book yet.

This is what happened to me as I await my failing grade on L2. I honestly believe I was a solid studying weeks away from a passing level of knowledge. And to note, I did study about 100 more hours on L2 than L1.

Biffy, how much did you study for L2?
