Exam Checklist through, calculator, battery, person, people

franzino

Ok what all do we need to bring?

Have on person:
- Admission ticket
- Government ID
- A truckload of #2 pencils
- Approved calculator(s)
- Maybe a spare battery
- A jacket (I've head the exam rooms are ice cold, so cold the coors light train comes through w/ the twins)
- Maybe some ear plugs (How many people do this?)

Leave in car or bag:
- Cell
- Lunch

Anything else we should think about bringing?

As a level 3er I would also recommend

an extra calculator, just in case you get a malfunction or a clumsy proctor that drops it while inspecting.

Be careful with the earplugs...make sure you can hear the proctor at the front of the room

stop your exam a minute early to make sure you aren't filling in a bubble when they say pencils down.

can we use mechanical pencil instead of #2 pencils?

and tissues, keys, wallets are suppose to be under the chair or in pocket?

I can't bring my bag inside right? we suppose to hand carry all those stuffs in check list into the testing area??

what about if someone need a bathroom break
or some water? what is the protocol?

You can use mech pencils (thank god). You can take bathroom breaks, but a proctor has to take your test while you're away.

That's what my boss told me today.

The CFAi are a bit harsh. I mean no water in an exam?! It's a bit too much. You can go and get some from the front of the room, but you don't want to leave your desk and waste time every time you need a sip. 3 hours is a long time. Masochists.

@ Chuckrox8...I think they do.

Or maybe they just like this whole "CFA exams are tough" thing.

Make 'em suffer....
