My Schweser (volume 1 and 2 ) mock results.Need some feed backs.

CFA Level II
#1

Schweser volume 2: Schweser volume 1:

Exam1: 82% and 80% Exam 1:80% and 82%

Exam2:77% and 85% Exam2:83% and 79%

Exam 3:79% and 70% Exam3: 90% and 85%

My conclusions:

1)Derivative/Econ/Ethics are my weak areas.

2)Luck plays a vital role in level 2.My score range is between 70%-90%.

3)I am using schweser with cfai eocs.

4)I plan to revise my weak areas from schweser once again during this month.

5)Hopefully i will take my next series of mocks (from CFAi) next month.

#2

Those score are really great!

While i have gone thru substantial portion of curriculum, i m not sure when to start my mocks…? What was your approach? Should i just dive in and see where i stand…?

Also, did you do these exams just as the actual exam (i.e. in two sittings AM & PM) and without refering to any material/formula?

Any advice would be appreciated Thx

#3

I never used any formula/material while taking the mocks.It took me 6 days to complete 6 mocks(each 60 questions).I was finishing my mock tests in 2.5 hours to 3 hours.

I think at this stage it is better to hit the mocks so that you have sufficient time to work on your weak areas.

#4

Makes sense- its just that i dont feel confident enough that i’ve retained like say even 80% what materials & EOC i have gone thru…

#5

chillax, you are fine

#6

Dude

Those are ridiculous scores…at this stage…just using schweser and CFAI EOCs

I’ve been through the CFAI twice and i don’t even think i could manage those…at this time

If I were you…i’d relax

well done.

#7

Those are very strong scores. You’ve still got a good amount of time before the exam so probably your biggest concerns at this point are to (1) not get too comfortable and still be diligent with your studies and (2) try to nail down your test day routine so there are no surprises to throw you off – it’ll hopefully ease your test day nerves.

Regarding your weak areas (Derivatives/Ethics/Economics), those sections are the lowest scoring sections by nearly everybody. You’ve got plenty of time to improve those sections, though.

#8

@Tommy/blinxbuckles/itera:Thanks.

#9

I know that most of you guys are preparing from CFAI books.

#10

You need to take a vacation or go on cruise or something…

I think you are driving MPS up for rest of us :slight_smile:

#11

You know the material much better than you think.Just try a mock.

#12

i HATE people that post scores above 75%. You know thats a good score and with close to 2 months left that is great. I’ll be happy with those scores the week before the exam.

#13

What exactly do you need feedback for when you’re clearly acing the mocks? You like being teacher’s pet?

#14

Feedbacks like how to improve my performance in this 50 days.

#15

if you are scoring those scores in the schweser mocks consistenly there is no doubt you will pass the exam with a breeze. RELAX and go and have fun

#16

This thread is silly

#17

Let’s see:

  • You know the minimum pass mark is 70%
  • You are already consistently exceeding the pass mark.
  • You have identified your weak areas.
  • You have almost two months of additional time to focus on these areas and do more general practice.

I’d say, you clearly know what you need to be doing and are posting this to show off a little bit!

Congrats tho, you should breeze through this exam…

#18

Y?

#19

I had no desire to show off.CFAL2 exam can be really unpredictable and variability of my result % shows this fact only(my score range is 70-85%).

Yes i have identified my weak areas and i have sufficient time to work on them because i took the mock 55 days before the exam.I just wanted to know if others are doing the same.

Last but not the least,you said that i will pass this exam easily. I don’t agree with this assumption of your’s since i have taken the mocks from schweser after studying from schweser books(may be schweser mocks ask similar concepts that are given importance in schweser note books.).Today i was going through Finquiz’s mock exam questions and found them to be difficult as it asked questions on concepts which were not given much importance in schweser.

1)I think the key is to complete the syllabus from any one source (elan/schweser/cfai).

2)Then do cfai eocs.

3)Then try and solve as many mocks as you can from different providers.

#20

It certainly can be unpredictable, the topic weightings are very broad. I guess the point is at this stage you have so much time to touch up on your weak areas that on the day the unpredictability factor should have even less of an impact on your scores than it does now.

Can’t argue with your recommendations, good luck for the exam!
