a little hope for those struggling...

… like me. I’ve had a tough time w/ schweser exams (avg’g low 60’s) and scored a disappointing 62 on the free sample exam. Just took the 1st mock exam and ended up w/ a 76!! I feel so relieved, especially b/c my strong points were not included in the pool of topics. If anyone has had trouble and is having doubts, be sure to take one of these, they are far more focused on “big picture” type of understanding than schweser; completing one may get your confidence up for Saturday. I still got killed on competitive strategy… F@ck that topic, so often, the logic in the answers makes no sense.

also, a buddy of mine/level 3 candidate has passed both of the first 2 levels on his first try. each time he waited til the week before to take practice exams and has never scored over a 63. so he says. but yeah, that’s encouraging.
