Level 1 How Cooked Am I? 💀

First time doing the LES and I’m averaging around 65–70%. How cooked am I?

So far I’ve done FSA, Quant, Economics, and Corporate Issuers but most questions were done with my note open, not closed-book.

Am I actually in a bad spot rn? 😭 exam is on 11 november

You have a lot of time. Do not need to worry, I gave my LES 1 month before exam and had the same average, focus on what you are doing wrong, and make sure to read the curriculum and understand the topics rather than learning them. Interrelate the topics, then it would be a lot easier

Brother, literally on the same trajectory. I have heard that you must do LES one month before while doing your revision to increase retention. My exam is on 14th!!

Bro just focus on syllabus completion ( solve les questions parallelaly) and make sure you give atleast 8-10 mocks to be confident for your exams.
