Q-bank and CFAI questions continue, anybody, useful, should

king_kong

Does anybody else d that the Q-bank questions this year are not as useful as the CFAI EOC questions? I'm debating if I should do a review of the CFAI questions or continue on with Q-bank. Thoughts?

Is this like a joke thread?

Do both, but if you're picking one, the CFAI, I would estimate is roughly 1.96785 billion times more important than Qbank...

I would say the statement "you must do every single CFAI question" would not be out of bounds of reality...

No, this isn't a joke thread. I actually already did all of the CFAI questions. My issue is do I review the CFAI questions for a 2nd time or go into Q-bank and hit up my weak spots. Makes sense now?

Lolz, ok makes more sense now, I was like "who the hell gets to level 3 and doesn't know they have to do EOC's?" The key there is the 'second time' phrase....

I'm finishing my first pass at eocs probably mid week...i already did all schweser also - I'm going to try to do qbank every day, then refer back to eocs as I mess up... Also gonna do CFA sample exams and essays and use EOC's to fix broke spots...

Last, I think I'm going to use EOC's for my "secret sauce" by reading through them to review topics, since they sort of represent the "meat' of what CFAI is testing on...

Hope it works...

Qbank isn't bad. I'd mostly focus on the advanced questions as these will constitute vignettes. Beware though, some questions are just flat out incorrect and/or unrealistic.

Ex/ I seriously doubt CFAI is going to expect you to know where the valueline index is based geographically and schweser also screws up on saying foundations are taxed (only private foundations are taxed so this question is not complete). The shortcomings are minor when considering how many questions are available, so on a net basis I'd its worth it.
