I agree completely. I'm glad that I took level 1 while still in school and now will be taking level 2 while I am finishing school and starting work in January.

I'd assume that doing these exams while married, working full time, and even having kids just adds to the difficulty and pressure. I consider myself lucky to be able to get these exams out of the way at an early age.

I have spoken to a couple of people that have made it to level 2 and just got caught up in careers, family stuff, etc and never made it to take level 3.
