I’ll be taking it tomorrow. I took it for L1 and it was the same way as you described L2. How is the review CD? Have you looked at it yet?

DanLieb · May 11, 2009, 1:25am

Much, harder than Stalla’s L1 was. The videos are amazing. For many of the questions, the video answers are 10-20 minutes long. (These questios tested several LOS’s each)

DC_Zanini · May 11, 2009, 1:26am

Great to hear. It saved me on L1. Is Olinto on the CDs?

DanLieb · May 11, 2009, 1:27am

Yep. DH too.

Awesome! This time, I’m actually looking forward to the mock exam owning me and making me realize how unprepared I really am. Because my motivation is in the crapper right now.

I look at this way. It is probably 2x as hard as the real thing so they can test many concepts. Still though, there are so many unquestioned topics. GOD this exam is a mile wide and a mile deep.

Are you guys done with all the prep before attempting the mock? I still need to master the swaps and pension. And treynor black! Am thinking of Stalla mock.

Just took the Stalla Mock exam (AM Session). VERY LONG. Got a 67, eventhough I bombed FSA and FI. Thought the Derivatives and PM were surprisingly easy on this one.

The night before L1 exam, I had a look at the Stalla mock exams (I know probs a bit late on in the day). I nearly cried and I was so close to not even turning up for the exam. Seriously. But I completely aced the exam. Stalla mocks are sh*te

Hey guys, do you think it is really worth it? I am not familiar with Stalla… Thanks! M.

L1 candidate here Anyone tried L1 Stalla Practice Exams? If yes, what would you comment on those? Easy or similar to the real CFA exam?

It is a great way to review.

Im taking the in class mock this weekend with PO in NYC. Lets hope its worth it

UWS · May 11, 2009, 2:13pm

This looks like a Stalla-friendly group: I am a Level I candidate. I took the Stalla Mock AM in class on Saturday - got a raw score of 73/120=61%. (Excludes 10 questions I got right but didnot give myself credit because the answer choices were poorly formatted (easy to guess/game)). I was wondering for folks who took Level I Stalla Mock and then passed CFA Level, how close was your real score in Level I to the Stalla score, and how close was the Stalla Mock ito the real thing? Many thanks!!

BiPolarBoyBoston · May 11, 2009, 2:30pm

after reading this I really want to take it but 500 bux is alot of green.

bos_IT_guy · May 11, 2009, 2:48pm

I got 51% on L1 Mock Exam and then passed the real test. It was a real wake-up call. It forced me to bust my hump on the last month.

UWS · May 11, 2009, 3:38pm

Thanks - bos_IT_guy - did you find the real exam easier than Stalla, in general?
