I'm not. I took the 2010 mock and that's it. In place of doing additional mocks I am doing a TON of CFAI EOC questions.

Are you focusing on the CFAI EOC vignettes or basically everything?

Vignettes first. Once I've exhausted those I will try to do as many of the other problems as possible. So although I am not really take another true mock exam I will pretty much take like 2 of them by doing all the vignettes.

My advice would be to make sure whether your supposed to use Market Value or Book Value, Nominal or Real Interest Rates, required return, expected return, YTM. Really simple stuff on the exam your gonna see like 2 or 3 number you can use for a formula. The EOC vignettes are super detailed in one questions but on the test your more likely to see like 3 mini sets per vignette where you can start to get your number mixed up. Its more like too much information and easy/vague questions.

Not really to many plug n chug type problems but easy stuff where you debate which variables to plug in.

hope that helps
