CFA Mock Afternoon Ethics OUCH nothing, morning, Answers, afternoon, completely

ShooterMcCFA

Just took the CFA Afternoon Mock. HOLY SHIT. 11/18 in ethics, which is just aaaargh considering I rarely get ethics questions wrong. Answers that prioritize disclosure over actual action, then answers that prioritize action over disclosure! What the hell?

Any one else find the afternoon session ridiculous?

To put things in perspective, I got 79% on the morning mock. And that was when I knew nothing in FRAS and derivatives.

Just hoping for some empathy so I don't feel completely demoralized

12/18 on both morning and afternoon sessions in ethics. Very difficult. Definitely the area I will be working on before the exam.

I found the ethics to be more difficult in the PM session. 17/18 in the AM ethics. 12/18 in the PM ethics. After reviewing the answers, I missed two by being foolish, but I didn't find their explanations helpful. I found myself saying "where in the question did it even mention that".

Aside from that exam I think I've scored over 75% in all other mocks so I'm not worried.

I thought the afternoon in general was tougher than the morning....if you passed the test as a whole you did well! Work on the stuff you messed up and be ready for this Saturday!
