Preparing for CFAI Mock wish, next, following, anything, mistakes

TheMBAGlover

I’m going to do the CFA mock exam in examlike conditions this Saturday. I’d like to spend time over the next two weeks going over the questions that I got wrong.
My question to those who have already done a mock (or a Schweser Mock) is: Is there anything you wish you had done to prepare for the mock exam? Any formulas you wish you had crammed or ways you wish you had prepared to get the most out of it, and avoid wasting your following prep time on reviewing silly mistakes (rather than real conceptual mistakes)?

Just a couple personal notes on my experiences with schweser/cfai mocks:
FRA is 2x  4x harder than qbank
You are likely going to over analyze everything on your first shot, getting a 70%+ or not getting it can be significant confidence wise. This will cause you to immediate create a thread about how you are going to fail the exam. Don’t let it get to you, hit the books hard.
Not a lot of number crunching beyond the common sense stuff, number crunching is equivalent to intermediate qbank questions, CFAI chapter questions.
Try to treat it like the actual exam, so you get a feel for the whole process.
Good luck!!!!
