Anyone took the full practice exam from Schweser notes and got >70% in it expects to fail the 2010 exam?
i never got below 70% on any schweser or mock, but i’m not feeling great about the actual exam
Schweser scores mean little. I got over 80% on a few full mock tests and still feel pretty mixed about my prospects. Even though the Schweser mocks looked like item sets, in many instances it really appeared that the writers just strung six subsets together into one.
Morning session was really difficult. Afternoon session was really easy. So, I have no idea.
My advice to you …study Schwesr notes …do all prct, mock exams AND CFAI EOC.
My only sub 70 score in all the tests I took was a 61 in CFAI Sample 1, and like most others, I do not know how to feel about my chances of passing the real thing any more.
Schweser was harder
I was scoring high 70’s to mid 80’s on Schweser exams, CFAI Mock was around 84% Sample 1 was 75% and the other mock was in the 80’s. Like others the AM section of the actual exam kicked my ass. The PM was very close to everything else I had done. My big problem was that no vender: Schweser, Stalla or CFAI gave enough thorough FRA item set questions. I ran to multi national Opp’s CFAI EOC’s three days before the exam and I still think I did not do well. Multinational opps for me is the kind of subject that you need lots of repetition in. I did all the Schweser EOC’s, the entire Q bank, all 6 Schweser Mocks, and much more from other places. After doing every question Schweser had to offer on FRA, I have to say they were lacking big time on the FRA sections. The other sections Schweser was the same or on the later exams they were harder.
I was consistently scoring above 70 on my Schweser exams, but found the actual exam, mostly the morning session, a lot harder. At this point, not feeling too good about my chances.
I averaged around 70 on the Schweser exams. The real thing was much harder. I failed it.
