The Qbank .. before, written, concepts

simeezee

Hi guys,

Today was the first time i try to do questions from the Qbank by randomly assigning 30 questions from differnet topics I studied.

For all readings I did, I used to get 95-100% in all EOC questions from the CFAI textbook. When i was doing Qbank, many questions were unclear and not written in the same way CFAI textbook questions are written. Some questions had concepts that are not even covered in the CFAI textbook.

For those who did the exam before, I would like to know if Qbank questions are similar to those in the exam or is it more like the CFAI textbook.

Thanks

Omar, which is the Qbank you are using?
I had a similar questions earlier in the day that I posted " EOC questions compared to Elan's question bank ".
I am only working on Quant section only right now, I am seeing a lot of difference in Elan and CFAI books as well so was curious to ask from previous exam takers how it goes.

Wasteoftime

Im using Kaplan one .. to be honest, it sucks. Questions are not hard but they are very unclear compared to CFAI questions which might be harder but very clear and related to learning objectives

What do people think of the Schweser Qbank? Has anyone tried it yet?

I am planning on using it once I go through all the material once. Until then, I am doing the EOC questions.

I think schweser sucks. I'll do the mock exams they have but thats it. Im going after the Elan 2k problems and hoping that they are more clear. I agree CFAI problems make more sense.
Schweser qbank = diminishing returns

their mock exams look good - didnt go over them yet but went over couple of questions and they are very clear
