Greaattt… FR&A and Econ harder on CFA mock? … just what I wanted to hear.
Having taken the samples though, I know it’s hard for you to remember, but would you recommend taking them with a little less than 2 weeks left or would you recommend taking Schweser instead.  I guess I’m asking if the morale crushing of the sample exams is really worth what you gain from taking them.
Yea, the Live Mock was really a good experience. I know it’s late in the game for this to be my first mock exam, but I don’t start work until later in June, so I have all day every day for the next 10 days or so to take exam after exam and review. I think 70% isn’t too bad of a place to be right now as long as you give it the time to reviewing and keep taking practice exams.

I thought Econ, Ethic, & FRA way harder on CFA Mock.  But others like Quant and Fixed Income way easier.  Overall, I would say harder.  I was weird though because some questions where ridiculously hard and some where ridiculously easy compared to Schweser.  And as far as I understand they are previous CFA I exams.  I took the samples a month or so ago and bombed (60’s).  The CFA samples are the devil.

I think 70% is a fairly solid score 2 weeks before.  Take it for what it is worth, but I think trying to memorize every formula is a mistake.  There are just to many.  Focus on doing problems, because when you are doing problems it’s easy to put the puzzle together.  Meaning rather then just reading a flash card that says “Fixed Coverage” and back has formula, it’s easier to imprint in your memoring doing a problem about fixed coverage and figuring out from there.

I was hoping to take the live schweser mock, but it was not offered in my city. I would love to hear how the live mock compared to the schweser practice exams. Like I said, II’m averaging 70% on practice exams but I’m worried I’m not doin as well as I should be at this point. My major problem is the formula memorization.

I have taken only the Schweser Live Mock and I received a 70% on that.  Starting Tuesday (reviewing first) I am taking a practice test every day for a week and I’ll come back and post here the scores here.
I am finding time not to be an issue at all as well, usually finish 30-40 minutes early (without reviewing of answers).
What did you think of the CFAI Mock compared to Schweser? I see you scored only slightly lower on the CFAI mock, but you’re doing well overall man!  Is the CFAI Mock an old actual exam, or was it designed for practice only? Also, are you going to take any of the sample exams?  The plan starting this Tuesday was to take the CFAI Mock, review all my answers on Wednesday, then take the two sample exams the following day and the rest of the days do Schwesers. I thought the order or relevancy was CFAI Mock, CFAI Sample, then Schweser, but a lot of people seem to put Schweser before sample mocks saying the sample mocks are unneccesarily hard.

I plan to take the CFAI Mock this week.
i have been averaging around 70% on my Schweser Mocks (I have taken 3).
The plan from now on is to continue taking mocks and memorizing formulas.
