First Attempt at Level 2 May 2026

After months of grinding on LES, ended up averaging around 75% - 80% on the mocks but I did not feel satisfied leaving the exam room today lol. AM session was straightforward but the PM definitely caught me a bunch.

I know for a fact that I messed up 3 questions that I should’ve got while commuting back home and that’s just killing me right now. Not saying I didn’t flag a bunch of questions but knowing I should’ve got some things right with certainty is definitely annoying down to the core of my existence. This shit is honestly such a grind and it’s been a pretty lonely road so I honestly hope it’s worth it in the end. Knowing I could fail by a few questions I would’ve got on any other day is making me anxious.

Anyone ever feel like this leaving the exam? Would love to hear ways to stay positive throughout this journey

Also tips for whoever hasn’t taken it yet:
Make sure you are well rested - can’t stress this enough. Exam was straightforward for the most part but I would say slightly harder than the mocks but manageable overall. If you are still practicing, the EOC questions are where I’d personally try to hit my weaknesses if I had time. There’s a bunch of twists and curveballs you have to be ready to catch. Be alert and read carefully.

Good luck!
