Verbose Real Exam? Question for Retakers

CFA Level II
#1

Hi Guys,

I noticed that CFAI Mocks (well 2011 and 2012 mainly) are very verbose - some item sets have up to 4 pages. A question mainly for retakers - Are the actual item sets in the real exam as verbose?

Thanks

In my experience, yes. I actually printed and stapled the mock into a book this year. As dumb as it sounds, it’s always a challenge for me to flip back and forth and get all the correct inputs.

Why make it easy when you can make it hard? Yes, you’ll have to sift through a lot of text to get what input you need.
