CFA Mock vs. Schweser Mock and Practice Tests

I know there have been a lot of posts about this so this is just another.

I am trying to make some sense of my scores and wanted some of your feed back. I know that there are some people on here that are going to set the curve for the test so if you are getting above 80's please don't stress the rest of us out, good job. For those of us who also have lives and are trying to just get by let me know where you are and what you think about Schweser. I took the CFA Mock and got 70% on both the AM and PM. Then I went to the live Schweser/Kaplan Mock in LA last weekend and got owned. Ok in the am with 65% and then in the 50s on the PM. Then I went to the Schweser test books and am struggling to get in the mid 60s. This is my second time around and have put some time in studying but it seems like the questions are so nit picky compared to CFAI Mock. Want to see what other people thought. Regardless were only two weeks away from a life again.

The schweser Live mock was very hard. The average showing on the website is a 59 i think. I havent taken the CFA mock yet, will hopefully do it Friday.

My only exprience is from LI, where i found the schweser mocks and the CFAI mock to be much tougher than the actual exam. Doesnt mean thats how it always is, but i felt the exam in December was way easier than any of the mocks i took.

Which schweser test book are you using? He first exam of the second book was also extremely difficult.

Schweser tests are tougher and more nit picky for the most part in my opinion. I'm averaging around a 70-75% on Schweser mocks and i got an 80 AM and 77 PM on the 2011 CFAI Mock. I'm feeling pretty good about things. First time taker.

I took the Schweser live mock last year and then the CFA Mock for Level 1 and found them both to be a lot harder than the actual exam. I passed so this year is Level 2 for me and I found that the live Schweser on Sat was extremely tough. Havent taken the CFA mock yet but I would imagine the same. Just hoping the real exam is a little easier but cant expect that

It would be really dumb for Schweser to make their tests easy. No one would buy more products from them to supplement their study if they thought they were cruising...

Point here is that yes, the Schweser tests are probably harder.

I wouldn't rely on the actual test being easier, although it would be great if it was. Remember, they can ask you anything.

I don't know why but I scored 80% on two schweser mocks which I've taken. Have not solved the CFAI yet. But all I have done is the concept checkers from
Schweser and read the books twice. Did not even
Open the CFAI books to read or solve the EOC.
While trying out the first mock, i felt like I would fail. But the evaluation has confused me rather than making me happy. Don't know what's happening.

I am an L2 retaker and I feel like the actual CFAI mocks are harder than the Schweser mock exams. I only have one of the Schweser test books (volume 1) and have scored much better on those exams (except for exam 3 AM) than I did on the CFAI tests.
