The USFA website doesn't have a whole lot of information on it. My main question is how much prior experience/knowledge is necessary going into the college to be able to pass the level 3 exam upon completion? Seeing as I'm considering going next year.

The Level 3 exam isn't a major deal....the oral was the scary part for me, but only because I'd never been through one before.

Get the study guide from the national website...it's a good resource....also, get as much practical experience as possible...it's good background.

Don't worry...if I could pass it (no comment you, Mergs!), anyone could.

More important than passing the test was picking Dan DeChaine's brain for a week!

I strongly suggest you go... When I was there, most of the ppl knew the basics. How much do you know?
