CFAI Mock vs. Schweser Mocks? official, difficulty, understand, like, 2010

I'm finding the Schweser mocks way more difficult than the official 2010 CFAI mock. Anyone know how Schweser compares to the actual exam in terms of difficulty? It seems like the Schweser exams are not worded as clearly as the CFAI mock. In the CFAI mock, it was pretty clear to understand what they were asking, even if I didn't know the answer.

I'm hoping the CFAI mock is the better indicator...

last year the CFAI mock was way easier than the real exam. I find that after doing all the Schweser mocks, the CFAI mocks were quite alright.

Good to know. I was feeling pretty confident for the exam until I took a couple of the Schwesers. I still had a passing grade, but they are much tougher than the CFAI mock IMO.

Balls. I got 72%, 76% in the schweser mocks. Just did a CFAi mock and got 60%.

Crap. I bombed alts, PM and FSA. That's really no good.
