How was the schweser live mock exam ?
i thought it was fair. It was a much more comparable to CFAI mocks than Schweser’s practice tests in the books, IMO. Apparently it was pretty brutal for the 950+ people that took it before me… the average score is a 53% for the AM session and 59% for the PM session. I scored a 72% on the AM session, and 70 on the PM session.
I am scheduled to take in next weekend.
Do they provide answers and explanations afterwards for review?
I thought it was more difficult than any of the other practice exams I’ve taken, including CFAI ones. I scored a 64% (vs an average of 56) whereas on every other exam I’ve scored above 70%.
I went back and did some questions today from the CFAI mock exam and they seemed much more direct than the schweser ones.
I wish they would tell us our percentile. I don’t really care where I am compared to the average (because the average candidate will fail) I want to know if I’m in the top 40% or not.
Took it last weekend, and the morning session destroyed me so badly that I took the afternoon session home out of frustration and embarrassment. Got a pathetic 48% in the morning, made up for it a little on the afternoon at home, where I did a 68%.
Still awful all around, but somehow I did better than average, and it added a bunch of good notes. It’s good practice, but it was one of the hardest mocks I’ve done, including the CFAI. The people who say that Schweser mocks are easy didn’t experience the morning mock.
Got a 63 in the morning, 78 afternoon. The Ethics was out-of-this-world brutal, in my opinion. Other than that, pretty consistent with regard to strong/weak areas for me. So I guess it was representative of what I have come to expect out there, except I don’t think Ethics will be as grey-area on exam day.
Yes. You logon to the schwesermock website and input your answers. It then scores your exam, includes the correct answers and short explanations on how to solve them, as well as video tutorials for each question.
They also give you a breakdown of how you’re doing on each section.
I got a 53% on last year’s and ended up failing band 8, so I feel better after getting a 70 AM and 68 PM this time around. I took it last weekend and have shored up a couple weak areas this week, hoping to keep that momentum going for the next two weeks.
did pretty decent. But got manhandled by the ethics. Got 1/6 on the AM ethics.
