68% AM, did in 96 min.
Pretty happy with that, frankly. Highest mark i’ve got on a CFAI mock. Not sure i’ll tackle pm if it’s slower. But for sure the wording was too vague in parts of AM. Feel comfort the actual should be sharper.
89%/95%
I disagree the CFA answer. My calculations below.
Any idea guys, if I wrong or right?
12,4 12,00 12,39 EW return CW return PW return
YOU FAIL ! why not 100% get back to practicing
Better yet. Short the score and get 120%
I found that many questions are repetitive and some are really out of my scope (like surrender cost index…) One day left sigh…
Yes. And I guess EW should be the right answer. Please feel free to react:

AM 37/60 => 61.67%
PM 49/60 => 81.67%
Felt AM harder than PM, no doubt.
I made a lot of mistake (1/3) by faulty reasoning - stupid mistakes. 1/3 bad wording-reading. 1/3 noise (including things I miss in the curriculum such as surrender cost index…).
I founded 2016 Mock easier. My guess is that the level is clearly up this year. Just an intuition.
Overall I agree that, everything else equals (ceteris paribus), AF followers may have higher chance than “my name is nobody”, on average…
Good luck everyone+++
86am/72pm but I rushed the pm at work with a lot happening. Performance attribution, ethics, gips and some trading strategies are giving me problems.

Time has never been my problem thankfully.
77 AM 77 PM, but threw out 2 item sets on each because I had seen them previously and they were inflating my grade unrealistically.
Thank you all for answering! This is really helpful, for us and for the next generations too - could also be helpful for the Institute, in gauging whether the mocks are good indicators of future performance in the actual exam.
I think that most of us have a really strong chance at passing - I took the Level II in 2015 and remember that most of us passed (80%+ as far as I remember) - suggesting a significant positive skew among AFers. More than 80% of us here are around 60%+ in the mock and AMs, and let’s be real, if most of us don’t pass, who will? We are the guys who are going to raise the average scores (I’ve seen people barely study for this exam).
At this point, it’s about believing we can do it - I really believe that most of us know enough and have studied enough.
Good luck to us all, let’s crush this!
^ I would be very happy to see both of us passing together as we did in Level 2.
I scored 81.7% in 2017 AM mock but that’s because I found 2 item sets copy pasted from 2014 mocks that I did earlier. On adjusted basis, I scored 71.7%.
just one last conclusion until travelling to exam location. My scores for the AM, graded conservative, did 6 in total starting with the 2016:
2016: 65% 2015: 68% 2014: 63% 2013: 66% 2012: 65% 2011: 73%
Last one was the 2011 one, which gives me a good feeling for tomorrow.
In the item sets I usually score 4 or 5 out of 6. Very few “unliked” topics with 2 or 3. On average between 70% and 80% (the above 80% on average declined a bit, maybe was just luck earlier).
Finally, good luck to all of you, hope we all get this last step done tomorrow!
75% on pm. Made 6 silly mistakes. Misread the question
Bombed AM. 62%. Did well on PM 78%.
Also didnt realize 2017 mock was all mult choice. Kinda weird. I was saving it for last
