Yea - formula memorizing may be better at this point. Im done with mocks. Did all of Intercorp Inv, Mutlinational Ops, Pension, and parts of other accounting sections EOCs last night. Today finish those and review some other things, tomorrow hopefully go over all the mocks to see what i did wrong, and friday take it easy. Dont want to do a mock friday, do badly, and destroy confidence. Also want to be rested. Good luck to all! I hope we can all pass.
How do you guys have access to previous years mock exams from CFA? Can I get access to these?
Congrats Omar - glad your prep was so effective. You definitely have set yourself up to crush this exam.
asalman07 - email me at omaradnan2 @ gmail dot com thanks ftwcfa … lets hope actual results will be similar lol
did around 9 3 hour exams, mix of schweser and CFA, my average is 80%, but i do have a couple of outliers that probably dragged the score upwards, so to be fair ill say my average is around 75%. If i nail this monster, its gonna be pretty close i reckon… lets hope lady luck is gentle and sweet to me and everyone else here…
omar i just sent you email, sorry for late reply, thanks
Schweser Exams 1 to 6 + Schweser Mock + CFAI 2011 (total 8 exams) average 73. Agree with grumble – right combination of vignette, I will pass and not right one, maybe in trouble again. Last year end up band 10.
I was doing 70-80% on Schweser QBank, then bombed the mock with 50%. What gives???
Qbank sucks

due to the vignette format of the actual exam? or QBank just sucks in general?
mock exam is full of mistakes, and errata seems to be incomplete, so I’m left with QBank at this point.
Q bank is just too easy. I havn’t tried the Q bank vigs, maybe you can give them a try.

Qbank has limited usefulness for Level 2; i was average above 80s in Q bank last year and end up band 10.

That is officially the highest mock session score I have ever seen on AF.

Sounds like you’re light years ahead of > me 4 days before the exam, ha. Quant is a nightmare for me as well. Just know the major definitions and tests (BP, Durbin Watson, Dickey Fuller, etc…) and you’ll at least score a few points. I’m toast if there is a time series vignette. Just keep cranking, the 2011 Mock was pretty tough and filled with errors.

One and only time lol the combination of item sets worked perfectly for me on that exam … the mistake was in ethics question … I WISH the actual exam will test same topics as the ones on that exam OA
Now not too rely on the Schweser, Main concepts are ok. Mock result low 60s last week, high 60s this week. but fail on ethics. not good
