Just took my first Schweser practice exam (Exam 1 AM)

69% overall, as follows: Quantitative methods is quite obviously my weak spot, but the fact that I only hit a 69% on the book 6 (and only 1 of those, at that) is not exactly encouraging given how hard it seems the Book 7 exams will be.

FI that is not a bad score. The average on the Schweser website is ~64 for that exam. Buckle down this last week and you could turn out alright.

you will pass the real exam

I’m going take the PM session this evening and then a full exam tomorrow. I’m sure the results will tell me the same: study quant more. Brushing up on ethics couldn’t hurt either: Subj. ********** Poss ********** Actual ********** Percent Ethics ********** 18.00 ********** 12.00 ********** 66.7% Quant ********** 14.00 ********** 7.00 ********** 50.0% Econ ********** 12.00 ********** 10.00 ********** 83.3% FSA/CF ********** 34.00 ********** 24.00 ********** 70.6% Asset Val ********** 36.00 ********** 26.00 ********** 72.2% Port Mgmt ********** 6.00 ********** 4.00 ********** 66.7% Total ********** 120.00 ********** 83.00 ********** 69.2%

Second time around wasn’t really an improvement, although I improved everywhere but in ECON and FSA: FSA was off by 1Q, so I’ll call that a push. Blew econ though: 50% versus 83.3% the first time around.

KJH Did they give the standard deviation of the scores at the schweser website? Want to know what percentile I lie in?

I don’t see any standard dev, just the mean. And the mean also excludes any score under 34% (although, that really shouldn’t be many…)

Personally what do u think the deviation will be like. 5%, 10%, 15%!!!

Not making the progress that I had hoped for, but at least I am consistent, for better or worse.
