hi i am currently studying from the schweser notes and have just completed my first reading in last 20 days and
i have started solving the subject based mocks from the scheweser CD, range of my score (2 hr test of 60 questions each)
fra 60%
quant 70%
economics 60%
corporate finance 82 %
ethics 65%
pms 70%
equity 72%
alternative investments 70%
ethics varies from 60 % to 70 % ( have given 3 tests of ethics of 20 questions each)
derivatives and fixed income are still left
i am facing difficulty remembering all the formulas in all subjects
one of my frieds told me if i can pull up the mock test scores above 75 % the cfal level 1 there would be good chances to clear the exam
its difficult to manage with work and am not able to dedicate more than 3 hours a day
can someone help me with a strategy to improve my scores specially in fra(mainly cash flows one lifo reserve problem & deffered tax asset & liabilities chapter), eco(currencies), ethics(answers in few questions correct ans look very similar) and quant(mainly hypothesis) ?
U’r trying, but aim to do better than the present score, and you cant judge your self based on those you’ve done so far, do a complete exam including all subject area, and also the CFAI mock exam to really determine your level of preparation. But u’r already trying, and u can do better.
Dear HarshSachdev, In my opinion, I think the most important is that you must understand clearly all the subjects at each feild. Don’t try to do the Practice exam too much if you want to improve your final score, it is not useful. Continue your second reading, focus on things that you feel unclear. If you are worry about the formulas, just use the Quicksheet from Kaplan Schweser 2014, i think it is good enough.

He covers the most important formulas ~ U’ll be able to cover 90% of the numericals with this. Make sure you understand the underlying concepts and mug all the formulas in the video.
