How realistic are QBank questions

CFA Level I
#1

I was thinking last night that i am spending most of my time working through QBank questions but am curious just how similar they are to actual exam questions. Anyone have any ideas?

#2

My opinion is that the QBank questions will be slightly easier than the real exam. The QBank tends to ask quite a lot of basic questions quite often. But I reckon the mock exams (especially book 2) are a bit more representative. But your guess is as good as mine!

I think they are dramatically easier than the tests. Cut a good 10-15 points from your qbank average to get a feel for your test score.

#4

I concur with mcf. S

Also, to save time, opt out of the basic questions in Qbank. I feel they are just a waste of time. I also think that in FSA, Qbank has too many 3 para, calculation intensive questions which are not likely to be seen on the exam.

#6

how many sample/mock exams are there on cfa site?

#7

How about the book 6 exams vs. the real test?
