Btw, is this the most comprehensive practice test score thread for this year? If yes I think what we can do come August 18th is to update our posts in here with whether we pass or not. I think it’ll be nice to compare the before-after effect, will be helpful for the “next” batch (meaning hopefully we all will move on). But good to look back at our own efforts too, eh?

Agree with Aimee - accounting is my strongest topic too…could be because that is where my background is…although at my age, I am not sure if I still qualify as a “girl”…:slight_smile:

Book 6 1AM: 73.33% 1PM: 75% i think this is the average score, or am I below average ?!

Amrcd1, those are very good scores. Remember we only need to pass this thing, not to get a perfect score. Bragging about your CFA result above the fact that you pass or not is against the CFA Standards anyway.

Thanks Cinny :slight_smile:

OK finally finished book 1. For the schwesers, its probably not a representative score of where I’m at as I had already read a lot of spoilers on this forum, but didnt read any spoilers for the CFAI mock or sample. 1: AM: 82% 1: PM: 88% 2: AM: 87% 2: PM: 80% 3: AM: 78% 3: PM: 83% CFAI Mock: AM: 73% CFAI Mock: PM: 88% CFAI Sample 1: 60% WTF so many stupid mistakes in this one. Doing Samples 2 & 3 tomorrow.

Book 6 1AM: 46/60 = 77% 1PM: 45/60 = 75% 2AM: 48/60 = 80% 2PM: 51/60 = 85% 3AM: 48/60 = 80% 3PM: 47/60 = 78% And still not feeling the least bit confident. Pension accounting is the bane of my existence.

CFAI Morning Session: 75% Schweser Vol 1: Exam 1 AM: 77% Exam 1 PM: 82% Exam 2 AM: 82% Exam 2 PM: 77% Is anyone else starting to worry that the average scores are too high. I suspect a result of having 3 options. Is it more likely we will have a very tough exam or an increase in the pass mark?

I’m with you there… I think historically the passing rates have been below 70% it is probably going to be 70 or slightly higher… And agree… The real exam will be much much tougher than the mock… The cfai mock was just too easy…

.

Am I the only one who thinks that the CFAI sample exams (not mock) are ridiculously easier than Schweser vol. 1? Book 1 1AM: 73% Book 1 1PM: 66% Book 1 2PM: 57% Book 1 2PM: 75% Book 1 3AM: 63% Book 1 3PM: 63% (avg=66%) Sample 1: 80% Sample 2: 83% Sample 3: 73% (avg=78%) Haven’t taken the Mock yet. Do we know from previousl threads whether last year’s group found the CFAI samples and mocks comparable to the real thing??

They keep popping up! Compared to the first two exams I really improved on FSA and Equity but that doesn’t show in my scores at all. Makes you wonder why we all bother. :slight_smile: At least on average my score is ~70%…

I took CFAI’s mock today. I find that it may be the most close to the real test. Mock Morning 72% Mock Afternoon 77% CFAI Sample 73% Book 6 1AM: 70% 1PM: 83% 2AM: 72% 2PM: 82% Book7 1AM: 72% 1PM 77% 2AM: 72% 2PM: 73% 3AM: 68% 3PM: 57%

Wow bigtooth, a 3 x standard deviation event and you’re gone. Tricky.

Nice score so I can stop doing new exams! Will review it later, then go over all my mistakes in these exams, write up some things I need to remember for the exam and otherwise I’d likely forget and then friday to review that plus Ethics. Unless the Exam is really messed up with questions about material I didn’t learn and/or vague question I am going to kick this exam in straight in the nuts.
