BST 2021 Mock (38% AM ,70% PM).. Panic

CFA Level III
#1

Hi guys, just finished my first Mock.
Ran out of time for AM like many of us worry about for the actual day. have question 6 undone 10 min before the time is done (rushed 1/3 of that). I would say I graded myself pretty strict, so maybe could be 40%AM, 70%PM, but that’s still bad. I see a lot of people complaining about the Mock and just want to see what score is everyone getting on the Boston Mock 2021?

Also, two questions on the Mock in general.

  1. In Behavorial Finance questions, do we have to give the definition of the the bias in addition to explain why? try to save time so I only answered which bias and how does the case scenario apply?
  2. when it asked which of the following statement is most likely to be right and give one reason, do we have to explain why the others are wrong? One of the question only has 2 marks but the guideline answer explains why the other two are wrong.

Thanks! Good luck to all of us!

You have to know how to answer depending on the command word given. Justify vs. explain vs. support etc.

Most of these AM questions you need to list a case fact then supporting information to justify. Same methodology works in explain or support almost just slight variation. I still suck at AM so IDK if I am the best to help here.

Your PM score is high enough to pass. You need to work like 2-3 more AM’s and review to figure out how to answer effectively. You don’t need 10 AM to prepare given the time constraint it will be more important for you to take 3-4 AMs and realize how to answer the questions right. Maybe even re-work 1 AM again. Your PM score seems high enough to pass but not AM. You need like 50% on AM and a 70% on PM to have a shot.
