I have taken the 3 Mock Exams in Schweser and my scores improved a bit: Test1: 68% Test2: 75% Test3: 70% Anyone know what the average grade on the CFA exams to pass is usually around? About where is everyone else scoring on these things?
No one knows for a fact but people generally say that it’s somewhere between 65 - 70 … With your scores, you should be totally fine I guess My average mock exams score is end 80s (88% - 90%) - let’s hope I can get something similar on exam day with all the stress we are having on that day
Omar, Your scores seem way higher than most in this forum… What is your background? Is this your first go around at this thing?
I took the Schweser Mocks (all of them), lowest score was a 79, highest was a 92. Average on the first 6 (half exams or 120 questuions) was 81.3%, on the second six 87.63 so def saw some improvement. I did find the CFAI Mocks =, expecially the ethics, to be much more difficult
Sorry let me clarify my last statement - i found the CFAI mocks to be more difficult, especially the ethics section
Got an 81.3% on the CFAI Mock. 75.8% AM, 86.7% PM. I’m kind of shocked at how good my PM score was, maybe a fluke or maybe I’m peaking at the right time. Here are all my mock scores if anyone cares: http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/9311/cfamocks.jpg I felt CFAI Ethics was slightly tougher than the Elan mocks, but not terribly so. Note that these mock scores weren’t done in sequential order. The 3-PM Elan mock was the first mock I did, and I did show mild improvement, but always hung around the low 70’s. Does anyone know why: Elan Mocks have 14 questions in the Debt, the CFAI had only 12 Elan Mocks have 4 questions in Alternatives, the CFAI has 6. I just found that a little odd.

It’s my first time doing it but I just finished my undergrad in May in Accounting and Finance and I have scored straight As in all these classes so level 1 material was all fresh in my mind - Actually if it wasn’t for ethics, I would have been very close to acing those exams … Ethics is my nightmare in this exam

Your PM scores are indeed very good. I got 98 correct in AM and 84 in PM. I got just 11 correct in ethics in PM.
High 80’s is a great score I wouldn’t worry if I were you. My lowest score was 79% but that was also on my last mock so I’m a little bit uneasy. I just keep reminding myself that the hard part is over and all I have to do come Saturday is fill in the bubbles.
wow for u guys scoring in the 80s thats amazing. i’m definetly scoring within the mid - high 70s. lowest mark was round 72% and highest was 78%. I feel prepared… but not sure if it sgood enough…
hehehe good luck to all I finally decided to go through the last 7 readings in econ for the first time - I guess it has been depressing my scores as well as making myself depressed. My uncle has a PhD in economics. I have started to respect him more than ever.
if you guys are scoring in the 80% range you would have to totally crash on the actual to not pass
