I recently started playing ME again and decided to level up my character to 60 for ME2. The only problem is that upon completing the second playthrough with said character, I was 57. I just started a new game so I can get the 3 levels I need. Will I need to complete the game a third time with that character (6th time altogether

) for the 60 to take effect or can I stop once I hit 60 and I can import it from there?
Thanks,
