CFA guideline essay questions and answers? actually, long, website, tricks, required

slackeranalyst

The institute is kind enough to post guideline essay questions and answers on the website for the lst few years.
I have started working through these and wondered how these compare to the morning session on the actual exam?
At this stage, I am finding them easier going than I anticipated.
As long as you can work out, what they are actually asking you, I have found the required answer to be concise and without some of the out of nowhere tricks I recall from L2.
I have heard so much about the dreaded morning session…….are these guidelines a similar level of difficulty?
Please don’t consider this post to be arrogant, I still have a lot to learn……it’s a bit like tasting a chilli you expect to blow your head off and it is merely hot!

Thankyou that really surprises me.
With work they certainly appear passable.

To go with HM and sdanalyst have actually said, the schweser guys in the videos have been saying we practise writing them ourselves in piece of paper to make sure you get them right..
Planning to do exactly that from today to end of exam now..
Its been atleast 15 years since I wrote anything for answers, its so different from circling A, B or C Atleast the answers give you a direction…

It is easier to find the exams than work through them!
Go to the CFA institute website;
Login; (username/password)
under “my CFA”;
click “exam news and information”
To the middle/right there is a section for “June 2013 candidates” with links to errata - sample exams and mock exams.

Perdition, not seeing the practice AM exams.  I see mocks and samples, which one is the a copy of prior exams?  Also, the only thing I see is practice PM item sets, not essay questions?
