No issues, all this scores does not matter on the D Day, what matter is whatever CFA tested that day and how you apply & do your best rest will automatically taken care.
This only for us for do time management & review our weak areas as much as can so that you can boost ur chances.
65% in the AM… was really tough exam. Lots of small things I didn’t know the answers too.
i also hope that in the real exam they put each table on 1 page as opposed to splitting it across 2 pages… Really confused me flicking between pages!!
Definitely. They had one table where nother but the titles were on 1 page and then the rest of the table on the next page!
Really I didn’t understand why CFAI wants to test our eye sight by not giving all info at one place instead . Even some times they verbose the questions in such a way that in exam tension u tends to miss that even u klnow the stuff in great detail .For example least likely etc.
I have two questions on the second last vignette from the official mock 2013 PM if someone has some answers and is so inclined. For question 52,With regards to FCFE, I know that issuing new debt increases cash flow to equity, but wouldn’t the interest on that debt be subtracted from FCFE? The question doesn’t specify when the debt is issued but it specifies the rate at which it is issued so you can do an interest calculation. Should the interest from new debt be ignored when calculating fcfe? Another Q from same vignette. For question 53, if the EBITDA multiple is for comparable transactions, don’t those transactions already account for a control premium and adding an additional 30% on top of that double counting?
sorry for double-post. see below.
UPDATE (30 responses thus far):
Morning Session:
Avg: 41.2 / 60
Median: 41.0 / 60
Afternoon Session:
Avg: 40.1
Median: 40.0
Combined:
Avg: 40.7 (67.8%)
Median: 41.0 (68.3%)
This is interesting and helpful
Positively surprised by the response it has got … 30 in just a few hours is a very good number
I am taking the test tomm … and will update my scores immediately
I have a suggestion though
Since the pass rate in the past few years is hovering around 40% … the cut-off for the top 40% will be a very good indicator (along with the mean & median u r already providing)
Can you please incorporate the Top 40% score in the next update.
There’s a new thread for this topic.
Hi guys,
just finished 2013 cfai. Did very well, 45/60 am and 50/60 pm.
worst topic were 3/6 in ethics pm, and the last 2 am (cf and equity).
one thing that scared me: i took one hour to finish 6 first cases in am and 2 hours for the last 4, finishing 3 minutes ahead of time.
this week will be all ethics and fra. And i still have one schweser mock left for thursday. But as i do cfa mocks i see schweser could be different. It seems youre doing another test!
Best luck for all of us. Now some beers!
53% morning 
haven’t attempted afternoon yet.
I’m really strong at derivatives but I suck at everything else.
Glad to see most people are around 70%
CFAI 2013 mock:
AM 41/60, 68%
PM 43/60, 72%
First time on L2, killed the L1 mock last year at 90% now very frusterated geting a 70% , albeit everyone saying this was hard mock. Worst sections were Ethics 58%, FI 50%, Corp Fin. 50%, Equities 67% (and I work in equities!!!).
Have only done CFAI books and sample exams (72 and 77%), and BSAS exams (80%, although they had a bunch of old material and I didn’t think they were very challenging).
1 week left to cram, was thinking of getting the Schweser Online Exam for $100, would anyone recommend it?
Updates will be posted here: http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-ii-forum/91321902
AM: 72%
PM: 57%
Ouch, a big difference…
I thought AM was definitely easier than Schweser and PM definitely harder.
65% afternoon, 60% morning. Should have done better!!!
67% on Elan Mock 2 (AM), by getting 4/6 on all 10 vignettes. Try to do that! 58% on PM. Had been greater than 70% on all other mocks… pretty annoying nitpicky test in my opinion. Others thoughts on Elan Mock 2?
56.7 AM,
61.66 PM
over all 59.62
Scored 66 % combined , lots of minor error. There are lot of vignettes from 2012 Sample test.
It seems many mock questions comes from sample exams which i was told come from actual exam
