So, tomorrow is my exam, and I wanted to ask a few things about the test center.

First: Am I allowed to carry a bag to the center? Will there be a place to keep it? I have a few things with me, like my formula notebook, a power bank, and an extra battery for my calculator.

Second: Can you suggest some things I should keep in mind for exam day?

• What should I carry to eat during the break?
• Should I carry a printed copy of my appointment confirmation/letter?
• Is a wallet allowed inside the test center?
• What things should I definitely remember to carry or do?
• Is there anything you personally forgot to do on exam day that you wish you had remembered?

One more important question: Do they ask you to reset your calculator at the test center? If yes, I’ll practice setting it up again, especially things like changing it to AOS mode and the other basic settings.

And honestly, I’m also feeling pretty low on confidence right now. I gave 4 mocks and scored around 61–63% in all of them. I know the passing score isn’t a fixed 67%, but I’m still worried because I feel like I’m right on the edge.

The pressure of the fees that I took from my parents feels so, so heavy. I honestly wish I had gotten the 24th instead of the 20th, but well… there’s nothing I can do about that now.

I know I have prepared as much as I could, but I’m scared. For me, CFA feels like my last real chance to do something with my life and prove to myself in front of my parents that I can actually make something of myself.

So, if you guys have any last-minute tips, advice, things to remember, or even just words of encouragement, please share them.

Consider me your little brother asking for some help before the big day.

Thanks a lot to everyone who takes the time to read this and help.
