I think CFAI mock felt difficult because it covered some areas which Schweser ignored. Doing EOC Questions from CFAI text will be really helpful. I also felt that CFAI mock lifted a few questions directly from CFAI EOC questions.

I felt soo hopeless and don't even bother coming on here...since pretty much everyone here is poised to kill the thing this sat...

i drown myself with random Qs that i missed in the CFAI mock, like the MAD, FCFF one ...then spent time going through the study guide to catch these things, turned out at the end of this weekend i m still barely passing the Stalla mock tho it was my first mock from the study guide... hopefully i still got sometime to rectify this situation, because it's harsh to wait another six months..

but yeaa, i will try these method.. trying to "game" this exam by nailing down several types of Qs. doing em repeatedly.. spend one more precious nite just to review Qs that i did wrong.. then went on for hopefully two more mocks in the mid week.. then friday night just rework the very orginal CFAI ones and see..

anyone can shed some light?

I was a band 9 in June 09!!
I underestimated AI And derivatives... and dat killed me!!

My learning is dat do AI, Derivatives and Portfolio Mgt. nicely...coz if u do 3-4 ques wrong in them, u r out of the game! No matter u get above 70 in FRA, Ethics and Equity!

do not forget to do EOC of CFAI material! Give CFAI Mock Exam and REVIEW, REVIEW and REVIEW your mistakes n weak areas!
