EOC.. going over every single Q? single

bapswarrior

I was just wondering if you guys are going over every single EOC Qs?

Blue boxes before EOCs.

Well, according to the unwritten rule, a 70% will get you a pass.

Yes, 1 by 1

No not pass with no preparation man, just telling myself not to give up and not quit just because some other people are better prepared…
So yeh I am going to work hard, and with some luck I might pass. I know about 70% by heart, and clueless and the 30% so far…

At the end of the day a candidate who prepared poorly can pass and someone who studied their butt off can fail. You can know 90% by heart, but the exam ends up being centered around the 10% you dont know. Someone else might know nothing but that 10%….
There’s no guarantees on pass/fail I agree.  But your last paragraph sounds like you’re trying to justify to yourself you can pass with little preparation.
Someone can buy 10,000 buying lottery tickets and fail.  And someone can buy 1 ticket and win.

Lostcfa - if you have worked your way up with mocks, request you to share few
mocks with me. Really appreciate your help. Email k4kapil@yahoo.com

I am going to do a mix. All blue boxes, certain key EOC’s I highlighted the first time through and some of the mock questions again. I feel like in some of the EOCs they ask really similar questions 3 times in a row. I already went through and highlighted the tricky one so I will just do that one. There is no point doing a nearly identical question 3 times at this point if I am already confident in my ability to answer it correctly. I think the most important point is to save at least 1 day to re-do or at least look at the questions you answered wrong on old mocks/schweser mocks and 1 day  to do a broad overview to tie all of the information together in your mind again… at least for me.

I found mocks to be a better use of time, eoc format can be very different that exam format, even eoc difficulty can be more than we see in the CFA mocks
Will see if this pays off….
I can take 6 mocks in the time  it takes to do eoc, would feel better walking into exam with 6 mocks, so i did not even look at eoc !
I think that’s ultra risky not even looking at the EOC.  Even Schweser frequently instructs all its students to make sure they do all the problems in the CFAI text.
