Is the $40 CFAI Sample worth it?

CFA Level II
#1

I’ve done the CFAI mock, all of Schweser Vol.1, and 1/3 of Vol.2. I still have the rest of Vol. 2 plus the BSAS exam to practice this week. Should I bother getting the CFAI Sample? It says it’s best for “earlier in your studies”. For those that have taken it, what are your thoughts?

#2

$1.33 per question, most people say its really hard… its your choice, personally i wouldn’t at this time.

#3

I was thinking about it too… why do you say you wouldn’t?

#4

theres 2 of them, 40$ each, i’d say they are worth it. good mix of questions and a little tougher than the mock

#5

I found it to be terrible. You cant access the questions after and there are a large number of mistakes.

answer shows up, then you click next and a new question shows up its 1 question at a time, you don’t see all 6 for the vignette at once

#8

These things are so hard…

#9

So for re-takers, the questions on the real exam similar to the Samples?

I thought the second sample test was pretty straight forward. The ethics in the second sample were almost ridiculously easy and would not expect something that easy. The first sample to be seems pretty close to the real deal.

dont bother…its difficult to track your answers and cannot see the original question. useless
