Qbank vs Schweser Exams recommend, material, because

glamorous

I just started Q bank 5 days ago and so far I've found it really helpful. But going through the questions is taking a lot longer than I thought it would take because I didn't plan on the time it would take to take notes. I wanted to do at least 3 Schweser exams, but at this point I have to choose between Schweser exams or more Qbank because I've only reviewed half of the material so far. For those of you who are more along in your review, please let me know what strategy you recommend for me to take at this point. Thanks

Q bank put out by schwaser. When you say you have only reviewed 1/2 the material does that mean you have only ready 1/2 the books or only gone through 1/2 the practices tests?

If you have not done the reading, I would ignore Schwaser and focus only on problems in the CFA books. These problems are more like the questions on the exam and will give you a better idea of what you need to know.

CFA Mocks > CFA Samples > Schweser Mocks > CFA EOC Questions > QBank

in my humble opinion :-)

For me

Schwes Mock>CFA Mock>CFA Sample>EOC=Qbank

I scored better on the CFA mock than I did on any Schweser mock...

Yea without a doubt the Schweser mocks are the toughest ones, I scored higher on the CFA mock too.

I've been doing a lot of Qbank and getting around 75%, but on Schweser mocks only getting 64-66%, so I think qbank is definately easier.

But still, there are some basic questions on the exam that can sometimes throw you, so can't hurt to cover them all!
