A few more comments while I am at it.

In general, questions are asked in increasing degree of difficulties (w/i the vignette), with a few "giveaways" at the beginning so if you find yourself spending a lot of time calculating the first few questions, watch out.

CFAI is not out to trick you, so not afraid of misleading/unclear questions (like the ones you hear alot on this forum), but you already know that (from level I).

However, there are a lot to test, so they do pick and choose areas of focus (otherwise you can easy sit on a 3-day exam), so some time they ask a lot of "tough questions" in some areas, while leaving out a whole key area untested, so if you bet on areas, you may be out of luck, but if you cover all bases then no problem.

but bottom line is that CFAI exam is FAIR and ask you questions you will able to answer if you follow the LOS.
