Please excuse my

L1 - 1 or 2 (closer to 1)
L2 - 3 or 4 (about the middle)
L3 - 4 or 5 (closer to 5)

Please excuse the liberties I have taken with your scoring system, but I am extremely anal retentive. For me they got progressively harder with each level. Level I was basically a cakewalk, and I basically choked on the essay portion of level III (but still cleanly passed).

1 - 1
2 - 5
3 - 3

These are for the last three years' exams. I found 2 to be the toughest with severe time constraints owing to calculations and arcane questions. The way I see it, in L1 the exam was easier than the concepts (which weren't particularly hard themselves esp. after an MBA), in L2 the exam was harder than the concepts, and in Level 3 the concepts/exam were about equal. Might be just my thoughts, but others I've talked to after those exams seemed to feel the same way.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
