46% Morning session 1st test
Got 65% afternoon 1st test
63% Afternoon 2nd test
took it today. Got approx low to mid 70s on the am. I did make one horrible mistake on the Core Capital question, where all my calcualtions were right but I started their first year needs by multiplying by the growth rate instead of using the one given in the text. If I dont make that dumb mistake, I wouldve gotten around an 83.
Afternoon was tough, got a 72. I failed ethics and GIPs gave me some trouble. Overall, pleased with first run through of mocks.
Did you find it difficult to grade your own questions? I dont know how strict to be.
Yeah, indeed it was difficult to grade my own answers… when I am in doubt I just mark it wrong…
I dont think im going to do schweser morning sessions. I’ll just solve afternoon ones. I’ll focus on solving previous CFA mocks 2007-2012 + solving CFA Books EOC …
I defnitely miss this forum =)
60% morning session 1st test. I will be taking the afternoon session today.
Bilal: for me the morning sessions are the most useful part. Actually, I think them more useful than some of the EOC questions…

58% second am
78% third PM
I have taken the first 4 AM’s, with an average score of 64 (its a pretty tight band with my low around 62 and a high of 66). I am really frustrated with my inability to score better than 40% of the points on individual/institutional IPS due to constant mistakes on Required Return, terms used (or not used) and generally not answering the question.
PM scores Vol 1:
72, 74, 76. At least I am showing improvement. Hopefully I can get thatn into the high 80’s since I need to balance out my dismal AM scores.

Hi koontab - I see you have done V1 and V2 exams both. Would you please shed some light if the Volume-2 exams are worth the time or I would just better focus on other stuff and forego Volumn2?
I find it tough to grade the AM exams - especially given the difference between the Schweser AM and past CFAI AM exams. Given that, I took the Schweser PM exam and scored a 67% today after taking the 2009 CFAI AM exam.
I thought the test was kind of crap. I scored a 78 on the 2012 cfai mock, 73 on the 2011 mock and 93 on the 2010 mock. Very ambiguous with the answers (on the Schweser exams). I even wrote down the correct answer next to the question on a few, answered them, and got them wrong because the language was ambiguous. Maybe I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed - not sure - but that’s my opinion. Taking more exams tomorrow and will post scores.
