You can order them online through bsas website, but it needs to be done a month in advance. (https://www.bsas.org/education/education_reg.asp?selected_id=80 ) I thought the BSAS exam was not too different from the schweser exams, a bit too heavy on calc then on concepts. I tend to do well on those. Econ, Quant & Ethics were a joke in both am & pm, that dissapointed me, 'coz those are the areas that I need to hone in on, and BSAS did not help me. FSA & Asset Val were tough, That was good, I realized i needed a lot of work in derivatives. I was used to the plug & chug variety that schweser throws at you. BSAS questions had some nice twists. I would agree, this is too late in the game to waste a whole day on it, I suggest, you do fsa & asset val, which is like 120 questions.
lola, although I totally agree it doesn’t hurt to do more questions, but don’t go crazy and overprepare and get yourself all anxious, it’s pretty important to keep a relaxed mindset, you don’t want to be too tense and blankout when it counts also, having seen all those posts about schweser book 6 and 7, I really thought ppl could’ve better utilized their time with CFAI exams and more review…I don’t have them personally, I only did the questions from the QBank and the CFA online exams, and I still remember all those bogus questions from the qbank, afterall they don’t write the actual exam, they’re only trying to guess what the questions will be like, the same as we do, that’s just my personal opinions though…
