Vol 2: 1 AM - 58% 1 PM - 57% 2 AM - 59% 2 PM - 73% 3 AM - 55% 3 PM - 67% Do you guys think I still have a chance to pass?
Just took Book3 Exam 3 AM… scored 66% (118/180), this was my last new morning session exam to take, I wanted to grade myself pretty tough on this to see where I stand… There were 23 possible points on various questions where I gave myself 0 points and no partial credit whatsoever, so I feel a little better considering we should get at least some partial credit… so not it is only 3 PM left to take tomorrow morning and then I will be officially done with all exams… recap of all of schweser… Book 1 1 AM - 63 % (took 4/11) 1 PM - 72% (4/12) 2 AM - 68% (5/2) 2 PM - 83% (5/2) 3 AM - 67% (5/14) 3 PM - 75% (5/15) Book 2 1 AM - 67% (4/18) 1 PM - 75% (4/19) 2 AM - 67% (5/25) 2 PM - 73% (5/25) 3 AM - 66% (5/29) 3 PM - Taking on 5/30 If only this test were all multiple choice… Morning session is just so tough to judge how you are doing… I try and score myself tough, but I feel there are some times where I give myself more credit on answers that I should… Just have to try and get a 62-65 on the morning and I think I can take it home with a good afternoon score…
Yeah, I grade myself pretty harshly on the AM sections as well - you never know how the graders will see it so better to be on the safe side. On another note… wow, that 2010 Mock was a joke! Way to give people a lot of false confidence imo… and two of the questions I blew when I should have known the right answer. 2008 CFA exam tomorrow!

WTF - 92%. Aimee you are pass 110%
that 2010 mock is really a joke. I got 55/60 and feel like I’d fail pretty badly if I took the real test today.
Wow, good job guys! I have a feeling Af’s pass rate is going to be pretty high this year. Aimee your going to kill this thing! Don’t forget everyone last year a ton of people missed some questions on AM but did well on PM to pass. PM is still 1/2 of the exam and you should get much higher % of the exam correct. Can still pass with 50-60% on AM if you do well on PM.
You guys are going to kill us:)
Took CFA 2007 AM earlier today…67% give or take. Thought it was way harder than the '08 exam (69%), though I think I might be in the minority there. So many IPS questions…
Taking '08 tomorrow, so I’ll let you know what I think 
I agree with the '07 IPS stuff… I did far worse on that then the other topics! That and behavioral finance, which never fails to confound me…
Mock 2010 : 70%
Guys, please share your scores for Schweser Vol 1 and 2. I am starting to work on these but unable to judge the difficulty level of these tests vis-a-vis the actual test.
hey just started doing the exams volume 1 2pm 65% 3pm 67% making too many mistakes 
is it a safe score?
Scored consistently between 59-65 on all the schweser AM’s, getting a little better as time progressed. All I see on here is people in the high 60’s on this part, but we all grade our own way, so its tough to figure out where you actually stand. I had myself at 61 and 63 for the CFAI 2007 and 2008. Havent taken the 09 one yet. Feel like they are much tougher than Schweser, but Schweser makes up for that by asking questions more indirectly, and tying one answer to the next. My schweser afternoons have been relatively consistent between 70-75 with one to go. The back to back ethics in a row is typically a big help to me. Bottom line: I need to right questions to come up on exam day, and then its going to be close.
Volume 1: AM 1 - 67.8%-80.0% PM 1 - 80.0% AM 2 - 77.2%-84.4% PM 2 - 78.3% AM 3 - 68.3%-79.4% PM 3 - 81.7% CFAI 2008 AM - 79.4%-86.7% CFAI 2009 Mock - 76.7% (basically got every RM Q wrong) I’ve been scoring the AMs with and without partial credit. My guess is actual scores will be closer to the lower end. I’ve been taking all exams like the real deal, timed and back to back…scores seem pretty good but I haven’t felt very confident coming out of any of them, I feel like I’m guessing a lot.
Just finished book 2 Exam 3 PM…scored 65%, my lowest of any schweser PM section in book 1 or 2… feeling really terrible right now, i got absolutely killed by Fixed income and Risk… was doing so well on all the PM sections, and now this with only a week to go, I feel like I am getting worse as I go on…

How is the 2010 Mock a joke? Are you all really that comfortable with butterflies, bull spreads…Risk Management in general? That was the section that killed most test takers in the past and it showed up with 3 vignettes on the mock! I ended up with a 66%
hate to say it, but 2010 mock is a joke - got 47-60 with 6 wrong in gips/ethics - plenty of room to fail. Wait till they break out FRAs, commodity calcs, futures discounting, contingent immunization calcs, implied FRA rates on the exam. Then you find out what’s hard boston - i feel your pain - got 67% on that - got 50% on risk management (20), 21 with fixed income and 23 on tax - that’s a tough one that I think is a bit calculation heavy, but more representative of the exam.
