I’m so nervous thinking about wset level 3 and I just got my results of wset level 2 ☺️ I’ve passed with merit and I watched all your wset level 2 videos. Hope you have a series of videos on wset level 3 too

I just passed Level 2! Trying to decide whether to keep going.

Taking my Level 3 in September in Italy. I know I have enough time to study, but it’s still quite nerve racking thinking about the level of detail we’re expected to go into!

Thank you for your great content. Wish I had found you earlier! I test for W3 end of April. I'm doing the online course. I'm most concerned with the short answer section, which is sometimes referred to as essay questions which are 2 different things in my mind. Can you please go in a little deeper on this part of the exam, and if you have and I missed it, let me know what episode. Thank you in advance....

Passed WSET 2 in June of this year (2018). Passed with "merit". Took a Level 3 practice exam offered on-line 2 weeks back with no additional training to benchmark myself in prep for Level 3. Scored 50%. How well suited do you think I am to take Level 3 and pass?

Is the practice done in class enough for wine tasting or should I practice it by myself before enrolling in for wset 3

Oof. I just transferred my enrolment from Lvl2 to the ‘novice to professional’ course that is designed to go from 0 to Lvl 3... in only two weeks. I’m expecting a blistering pace, having watched your video. Feeling the knots in my stomach already but I’m prepared to put in the study. Not sure how I’ll go - I’ve never done formal wine education, but have visited a few wine regions around the world and attended quite a few tasting expos and Masterclasses. Definitely not an accomplished taster or wine theory expert (yet!) though. The course is at the end of June so may not get my results til the end of August. I’ll try and keep you updated :) Send all the good vibes, pls. Haha.

Where is the entry exam he mentions (in the 1st minute) that tells you if you are ready for level 3?
