sample exam 2 score

CFA Level III
#1

I got 43% only. Isn’t it hopelss?

#2

Isn’t your score improved by 30%? Joke aside, just keep studying and make sure that you are learning from your mistakes. BTW, can you post the score of each sections?

#3

I got rocked on the samples …don’t worry

#4

I thought i was going to do relatively well…I got a 73 on the first sample and from what everyone was saying, the second would be much easier…Long story short…I got humbled by a fat 50%

#5

Low 70s on sample 2. Low 50s on sample 1. Taken same day.

#6

63% and 63%

#7

66% in first

#8

73%. much better then the 53% from Sample 1!

#9

Hi, posted my score. any suggestion, please? sample 2 Glbl Bnd & FI deliva: 50% Equity: 50% Altera: 50% Risk Mgmt deliva: 33% GIPS: 33% sample1 Ethics: 33% Cap mkt ex: 50% AA: 17% FI: 33% Risk mgmt: 33%

#10

Do Ethics and GIPS along with AI. What section did they cover in AI? Commodities?

#11

study more on the topics with < 33% and with a higher weight given in the exam. For instance, focus on Fixed Income and Risk Management then move onto Alternatives and GIPS. Then study Equity & Cap Mkt.

#12

i have done the mock. Where do you find these sample exams? are they free?

#13

no they are 40 bucks each available on the cfai web site.

#15

Sample 1, 24/March; 67% Sample 2, 21/May; 66% Totally bombed it. With only 14 days to go (with very heavy work load at work), am I still hopeful?

#16

yeah of course, happyking, you’ll be fine the samples are outrageously hard, I haven’t seen many folk hitting above 70%. Do the 2010 mock and see how you go. The samples are frankly too small a sample to be stattistically significant.

With only 14 days to go (with > very heavy work load at work), am I still hopeful? 2 weeks is an eternity in CFA land! or at least, that’s what I keep telling myself… Seriously though, I feel like I always make huge strides in the last 2 weeks… bumping up scores in the 60s would not worry me right now

#18

Sample 1: 70

#19

Sample 1: 70 (May 17th) Sample 2: 73 (May 22nd) Mock: 83 (May 18th) I keep getting caught out by the wording of the question more than the content. CFAI don’t seem to make the questions straight forward even though the topic maybe.
