Schweser Practice Exams = alot harder? difficult, afternoon, actually, question

dreampak

I took a Schweser afternoon session SAMPLE exam the other day and actually did ok but not great on it. It at least gave me hope I may be able to pass this thing.
THEN today I just started taking one of the Schweser afternoon exams from the PRACTICE booklet. It was much, MUCH harder. Every question seemed to be difficult. I actually gave up in frustration and plan on going out (it’s my birthday!) to blow off some steam. Has anyone else experienced this?
I just hope that the actual exam isn’t quite this hard and the difficulty of the practice exam is intended to overprepare you.

The CFAI online exams are the same difficulty, and more importantly, the same types of questions as the actual exam. A lot of the questions on the exam are conceptual based, and don’t include a lot of calculations, especially the FSA section. Good Luck.

Try the CFAI mock exam … you’ll be in for a rude awakening!
