What types of scores are you getting? I seem to be all over the map between 60-75. Not very encouraging to say the least. I remember getting in the 80s consistently by test day for level 1 but not sure where I stood at this point last year
I am getting around a 70% on average
Do you guys select Basic + Intermediate + Advanced as your Qs when generating the exams? If so, do you think that mix accurately reflects the exam? I find the QBank strange, because it doesn’t do vignettes only and has so many individual Qs. How closely related is the QBank to the difficulty of the real exams? (My first time using)
I have the same quesiton - I found the Level 1 Qbank to be great…Im wondering if the level 2 is as good or trustworthy from a score prediciton perspective…
Took Intermed + advnced for the 3 equity study sessions and scored 57, 67 and 70 on SS 10, 11 and 12.
my scores are in the 60’s
My average is 85%, but it means nothing (mix of all difficulties)
From my experience failing the last exam and the first time using Q bank, Q bank’s not even close to the exam. Q bank gives you all the information with very little if anything extra to confuse things. For example, I would not be surprised if the exam gave you an income statement and balance sheet, listed out a dozen footnotes on non-recurring items, lease disclosures, pension assumptions, etc and then ask you to find FCFF & FCFE and the effects the disclosures have on these two. Of course, not all the disclosures need adjusting on the financials. Q-bank is just too straightforward. I’m using the Q bank while riding the train to work, busy work to keep my mind focused.
mine is 73% on average mixed with all levels
Yeah, my average is 82% but with all the easy questions I think that’s pretty skewed…
mine is 76% on average mixed with all levels did 2900 + so far… still to start PM & Derivatives

With Qbank you can usually figure out what steps/procees you need to use from the data supplied in the question - with CFAI questions it is not nearly so cut and dried.
I’m getting ~70% using only med and difficult. The easy stuff won’t be on the exam, but is a good refresher. I think the CFAI practice exams are free, right?
1st sample exam is free, mock is free, the other 2 sample exams you have to pay for.
at 75% right now, but i do the questions as i go thru the curriculum and a lot are pretty easy… In test with 60 questions, (basic - intermediate - advanced) i am low 60’s, lots of work to be done because i know i should know most of this stuff… the quant is killing me
What should be a good score in Q-bank considering I am only going to do “Advanced”. I think Basic and Intermediate are nowhere close to actual exam.
If you get 80%+ on a 60 question exam from Qbank. You are pretty much in good shape.
it’s shi tty that this year they changed it to 60 questions i mean now it’s physically impossible to be tested on every single reading in 1 session probably to get you to buy book 6
dick move schweser
