Is the CFAI Mock simlar to CFAI sample? first, difficult

Spongebob

Just took my CFAI Sample for first time. Got 76%
Are Mock Exams (CFAI ones) simlar questions? or more difficult? Even if they are longer..
Would appreciate some input thanks!

I believe that concensus is that they are more difficult. Though I got my worst score on the sample, but that was because I got frustrated at the instant feedback and made a few dumb mistakes early on and started answering questions randomly out of frustration.

I could have sworn I saw questions repeated from the samples on the 1st mock. Overall, I thought it was at the same level of difficulty as the sample, but it probably seems harder because of more questions and if you’re timing yourself, the extra time pressure.
