schweser qbank reliability before, getting, created, should, about

atate2007

for those that have passed level I and used qbank, what should I bet getting on the qbank exams (created in the program) to feel confident at this time? what about 2 weeks before the exam?

You should feel confidence if you are able to understand and apply most of the concepts throughout the curriculum.

Are you saying that the QBank questions aren't indicative of the questions one would see on an actual exam? If so, then what is the point of QBank?

The Q Bank is meant to reinforce concepts learned in your CFA studies. Its not at all meant to simulate the real exam. That's why Schweser comes up with numerous practice exams in a separate book.

I found Q Bank questions to be worthwhile, but some questions were way too specific to ever end up on the actual exam. Again, use it as a study tool to prepare you for the Schweser practice exams but do not expect Q Bank type questions (and format) to end up on the real CFA exam.
