Between 80 and 90 in the last week. Between 70 - 80 most of the time otherwise. I read Sheweser and did a lot of Q bank (about 1000 advanced level problems). No CFAI book. It’s a waste of time.

61% AM 45% PM One week before the real thing…I can now speak freely.
good idea cfagoal2 , seems like >70% on the mock => a good chance to pass the actual thing. lol@ BuzzAldrin about the ‘survivorship bias’…good one mate.
selection is too biased and too few for this to work, but yea it seems like >70% on the mock is a good indicator

Looking at my past notes, I did 64% AM and 59% PM in Mock Exams. I took the mocks the week of the exam since I was cramming. Funny thing, I didn’t have time for the free CFAI online sample exam, so I took it after the exam…and I got a 60% (score is actually adjusted up for mistakes I made due to rushing through it) I was prety sure I failed after I saw that result of the online exam. I must have gotten really lucky and feel truly blessed to get a chance to do Level 2 and will try not to make the mistake of waiting at the last moment.

I got 73% in both AM and PM and the same as yours in the real one with all above 70 but derivatives: —> Might be the correlation b/w the mock and the actual exam.
Mock: 77% AM, 73% PM Exam: Pass with everything >70% except Econ
CFA Mock: AM: 82 PM: 62 I never got above 72% (overall) for any prac exam from Schweser Book 1 Exam 1 to Book 2 Exam 3. My results were >70 for everything except Alt Inv (didn’t study at all) and Portfolio Mgmt (surprised). Shows that you should keep trying no matter what.
