CFAI mock score very low

I got 54% in am session whereas in schweser mocks I was averaging around 70-75%. The questions were difficult but repetitive.

What should be my strategy for the next few days considering such low score.

Review your answers…identify the topics of the wrong ones…crush schweser q bank advanced on those topics…find another CFAI mock and take it…repeat. You can also continue doing schweser mocks.

I had a similar experience as you have. I had scored okay in Schweser mocks then scored loweri in CFAI mocks.

What I did in the last few days before the exam was, I literally did ALL the CFAI mock exams over and over again. At that point I didn’t monitor my score but I focused on becoming familiar with the framing of the questions in relation to what I know about the material.

I found that at least in Level 1, CFAI could be framed a little differently than in Schweser mocks.

If you can stomach the stress and the mental blocks that are common at this stage of the exam, you can try drilling the CFAI mocks like there is no tomorrow. That’s what I did for my level 1 in June. I don’t think it would hurt you. My logic is that if you genuinely feel unprepared, it’s better you take the last effort to equip yourself than not to do that. It’s like, go out in a bang.

Same boat here.

Just took the CFAI mock after doing 4 schweser mocks and was surprised how different it was. Does the actual exam rearrange the order of topics thoughout the exam?

For schweser I have been so used to ethics, quant, econ, fra, etc. but my mock was ethics, corp fin, econ, fra, quant… On top of that there were 26 FRA questions in my morning section as opposed to 24. The changing order + more difficult questions really shook me.

Is this due to the random nature of the online mock or will the actual test be like this?
