Been averaging in the mid 70’s on the mocks and feel some questions were totally brutual and others were a complete breeze.  IMO, a mid 70’s scares me to no end for some reason

Scored a 76% on the second CFAI sample exam. The exam was worth taking, because the questions they asked were… different than I was used to. I have normally been doing well with Ethics but the Ethics questions on the sample questions were unusually hard for some reason, sometimes even frustratingly trivial as far as details in the question and overall trickiness.
$80 bucks spent for one day of only half an exam worth of questions?… good grief.

I would take CFAI mock sooner than later so you can pin point your weaknesses better.  Then, if you have time you could always review your answers the day or two before.  Good scores by the way.  I plan on taking samples again this weekend since I took them so long ago I do not remember the questions.

Have not taken the Schweser Mock. However, after scoring 68% and 50% on Elan mocks 1 and 2 I took the CFAI mock yesterday and scored over 70%. Desperately hoping the test comes in closer to difficulty of the CFAI mocks and not Elan.

Wow. Just took the CFAI mock am paper. A really disappointing 63%. A did manage to get 1/12 on econ though… A monkey would have done better than me…

Curious about those taking some many mocks.  When you don’t know the answer to a question, do you just guess and move on?  If that’s the case, why not just leave it blank?

I keep two scores - one on my actual answers and another for wild guesses that I would leave blank otherwise. Get the best of both that way!

I’m not sure how good those mock exams are.  Two years ago I totally immersed myself in the L2 material.  I went all out on the studying, and I felt like I learned a lot.  I took EVERY MOCK EXAM offered by Stalla; I got b/w 90% - 100% correct on every single one.  On exam day I felt really confident.  A couple months later, I got the results, and I found out that I FAILED EVERY SINGLE SECTION single section.  So, I tried to use the Stalla promise to get a free review, and they turned me away.  I never went back to Stalla again.  I’m just reading the actual CFA materials this year.  That’s all.  This is my last time taking it.  Next year, I’ll read the L3 materials, no matter if I pass ro fail L2 this time around.  If I fail again, I’ll just do the FRM and CAIA.  I think those exams ask questions based on the material they ask you to study.  The CFA consistently asks you to study certain things, like A, B, and C, and on test day, they will ask about completely different things, X, Y, Z, which are not even in the LOSs.

Took my first Schweser Mock outside of the Live Mock and got a 78% total
There was a clear distinction in difficulty level between the morning and afternoon sessions.  I got an 81% on the morning session and a 75% on the afternoon session.  I had a lot of lucky guesses on the afternoon session.  I hope that’s not a consistent trend especially considering we’re more tired by the afternoon already.

I just took my second full Schweser Mock and scored 83%:
81% in the morning and 85% in the afternoon - that’s comforting.  What’s NOT comforting is knowing that this is Schweser, not CFA exams.  I’m going to take a break tomorrow and then take the CFA mock this Saturday as if it were the real deal.  I still feel like there is quite a bit I do not know and I feel as though I’m just getting lucky with the questions I am getting.  Like the questions are too basic, scratch the surface of my knowledge kind of deal… if they were to dig a little deeper, I’d have to say sorry buddy, I’m not sure I know the answer to that.
Can anyone speak to how well the Schweser mocks represent the actual exam?  Some say harder, some say easier…. really would just like peace of mind at the moment ><
