How is everyone doing with QBank / Practice Exams? question, actually, practice, everyone, reading

karoliukas

Just finished the reading a few days ago and took my first Schweser practice exam today–– I timed myself and finished well ahead of the allotted time in almost every section... except that I got a 66%

I was hoping for around 75%, but I really got killed in ethics (I keep leaning towards the person in question violating the code when he actually didn't )..

Also, I'm scoring around 70% in QBank right now–– hope to bump it up to the 80s by next week!

How is everyone else doing the practice exams?

I took my first Schweser practice exam this weekend.

I got a 77% in the morning and 78% in the afternoon.

I've been doing well in Qbank, high 80's on advanced and intermediate, but i think thats just because I have been doing Qbank all along after the readings. Answered about 2200 of them so far...

Took exam 1 AM last weekend (un-timed, and looked at the notes a couple of times) and got a 77%. Took the PM session yesterday after reviewing all week and got an 82.5% in 2:40 without looking at any notes.

its going well here...
schweser practice exams (timed, without notes)
#1 (72.50%, 80%)
#2 (84.17%, 85.83%)
#3 (85.83%, PM to come today)

so i'm experiencing a decrease in the second derivative.

think i have to slow a bit, or else i'll run out of practice exams..
cheers

^ fantastic performance chefe.

any tips on how you boosted your score so much from the first to second practice exam?

dontknow1987

in the first exam i was too sloppy and too much in a rush..

e.g.
when finished skimming half-way through the question description, already thinking to have the answer. only to find out that the last two words of the question clearly say i was wrong.. from now on, i force myself to slowly read each question carefully, no matter how hard my feeling is that i have answered such a question 100 times..



other than that, can't really think of a strategy that increased the score.. sorry.
keep up the spirit.
cheers

Hey, can you please let know what you mean by "high 80's on advanced and intermediate" in Qbank? is there a way to set the difficulty level?

You set the difficult when you make exams. Personally, I think the Qbank is broken because I don't score any differently with advanced questions or all questions. Also, if I allow incorrect answers to appear, it HEAVILY weights incorrect questions, as in, if it were randomly pulling from unseen and incorrect and only 10% of the exam would be incorrect, I'm seeing around 50% previously incorrect questions instead.
