I just finished mine and got 14 out of 20, exactly on the 70% threshold, took me 35 minutes. I do not know whether it is the language, or whether these questions are indeed harder than the Schwesser, but I find myself intimidated by the CFAI material.作者: slackeranalyst 时间: 2013-5-3 12:06
I too found the wording of these questions to be more difficult than Schweser.作者: ftwcfa 时间: 2013-5-3 12:09
I now know without doubt that Schweser is easier than CFAI by a factor of 10 percentage points - meaning that you need to be a solid 80% with notmal difficulty and be a solid 70% when you select only the hardest questions.
I have not been able to score much over 60% on the two samples from CFAI (at $40/pop) though I average about 71 percent accuracy to date with Scwesser. Though the quantitative problems aren’t any harder, they are worded in a more challenging manner that tests your logical grasp.
Though late for me at this point, for future CFA 1 candidates I would recommend starting as early as possible, read all materials once, do a solid 2 months with qbanks etc, then have ample time to re-read the text of challenging areas. Though I have progressed a lot, a lot of the subject matter was never strong to begin with and I am now forced to re-learn in bits and pieces from the solutions.
I have 12 days to kick my average up 10 points.作者: redskins44 时间: 2013-5-3 12:10

Not sure if I would conclude that based on the experiences - keep in mind CFAI probably doesn’t want to distribute anything too easy, and risk people saying “Well based on the samples I was doing awesome, then I failed the real thing.” I’d have to think anything CFAI distributes (mock or sample etc.) will be on the harder end of things.
Scored 14/20 on this one, the ethics questions I thought were borderline ridiculous. I’ve been scoring 75-85 range on my Qbanks by topic, though I’ve only really covered ethics, FR&A, economics, and alternative investments (some long nights coming up…).
Also can anyone explain in number 7, how on earth do 1.5 million shares at $28 per share get you $4 million of common equity?作者: LorrinCFA 时间: 2013-5-3 12:13
Never mind I got it. Just book value of equity.作者: adehbone 时间: 2013-5-3 12:16
15/20
Made a stupid mistake on quesion 7, I really need to learn how to read the question!
I actually liked the wording of these questions better than Schweser, seemed more straitforward.作者: yuoska 时间: 2013-5-3 12:18
I’m surprised I got 17/20 for this! just messed up on scales, probability and bias.
