… are they suppose to be tougher than actual exam?
definitely harder than the Qbank..
hitting 80% on Qbank (all difficulty levels in the exams)
and just below 70% on my first Schweser practice test.
thoughts?

thanks beatthecfa, i went through and can see there are a couple of clear parts that i need to go over  mostly in FSA and Econ. I will rewatch those Schweser videos.

Schweser practice exams Volume 2 is definitely harder than the actual exam. Volume 1 might be at par.
However, Schweser practice exams and the QBank in general have more questions that require calculations. Actual exam questions tend to be more conceptual, which I dont think the Schweser QBank or practice exams prepare you for.
