Kaplan Schweser Mock Difficulty

How did you find the 4 practice exams from Kaplan Schweser?

Hardcore difficult.

I did all volume 1 so far, all timed to 3 hours:

Exam 1 AM - just did this out of curiosity because I have never done a mock before. Didn’t have any specialized prep before I started. 68%

Exam 1 PM - revisited the questions that I did wrong before attempting this one. 65%

Exam 2 AM - for whatever reason I found this to be really difficult. Spent way too much time in the FRA and equity section, left with only 30 minutes for the last 3 vignettes. Somehow my guesses landed me a sweet 76%

Exam 2 PM - much more confident with this one (although not sure what’s up with the 4 FRA vignettes in just one half of the exam). 80%

Oh God ! these are really high

Btw have you done only the Kaplan mocks or have you used any other provider as well?

So far I have done only Kaplan. Planning to do Kaplan, Wiley and CFAI. Looking forward to CFAI mostly though (heard Kaplan’s mock is not the best, but might do them just for the sake of it). As of the numbers, don’t get too bogged down on what others may/may not have gotten. I might be (and I really think it’s true) just lucky.
