CFAI Mock Scores vs Schweser and Elan everyone, getting, easier, scores, think

scruge

What scores are everyone getting? I got a 70 on the CFA mock and am ranging from 75-80 on both Schweser and Elan mocks. Anybody else think Elan and Schweser are easier?

i took the 3rd elan mock yesterday and got an 82% just took the 4th elan (it was probably the hardest i'd taken....very frustrating and right on par with the CFAI mock) and got a 74%.

for what it's worth (not sure much), i re-took the CFAI morning mock that i'd taken 3 weeks ago and got a 93% (versus 73% original score). i guess this shows i'm making few repeat mistakes, but that questions from left field (like many on elan #4) are still problematic.

good luck to all tomorrow!

Make sure you understand the solutions to the questions that you have problems with.

80% is just too good... Buddy just chill and relax.....


I took CFAI mock today... scored 75% (AM/PM aggregate).
But didnt score on average 70% for Ethics...... Should that be a matter of great concern??? Please advise....

combined AM&M mock score of 80.4%
schweser practice exams 80-85% on average.

i ran out of mock exams now... so i guess i'll just take it easy and relax. or learn something for another exam i'm having on thursday

good luck!

as an update, i took 2 elan 3hr tests and got 79% and 75%. i think they were definitely worth the $80, as they are much better than schweser (though I think there are a few mistakes). will take the other 2 tomorrow or monday.

based on my scores, i'd rank them, easiest to hardest, schweser, local society mock (SF), elan, CFAI.

good luck to all!

Took the CFAI mock today..

Got 73 in Morning session and 67 in noon session... The 2nd mock was definitely harder. Ethics was just crazy (think i need to work much harder there...got 9 wrong in 2nd Session). Been ignoring a couple of areas (like Alt Invt.) and it showed today (got 4 wrong in 1st Session)

5 days to go & I am not giving up.

I got a 76% on the CFA mock and a similar score on Elan's first mock. I took Elan's mock first, and it really helped me prepare for the CFA one.

I am hoping to break 80 on Elan's second mock that I plan to take this weekend.

i got a 70% on the CFAI mock, compared to progressively improving scores on the schweser mocks from 72% to 83%, and a 78% on the local society mock (which they claim is harder than schweser and is similar to the difficulty of the actual test). the CFAI mock was hard and humbled me a bit. i actually scored poorly on a couple of areas i usually crush. i thought they really went to extremes in asking about things that were 1-2 sentence mentions in the reading, and a couple of the questions were poorly worded, in my opinion. if they were trying to scare me a bit, they did, as i'm making another big push. i am not failing this test.
