How are your mock scores?

@kikentai

Average of ~84% across 9 PM mocks, all guesses counted as wrong. Haven’t been keeping track of morning section scores.

If this is true then you are an absolute machine. Just make sure you draw some pictures on the AM exam and you’ll pass.

Thanks for the encouragement bro. I am a retaker and got rocked by the AM section last year. I reviewed the AM portion of the exam and I am pretty sure I know where I went wrong (RTFQ and not enough explanation of calculations). Going to be redoing the morning mocks this week for practice. That and ethics… I don’t even know how they expect people to magic some of those answers. It’s hard to get >4/6.

Hey guys

I did the schweser practice exams 1 to 4, scoring around 70% (perhaps correcting the AM too generously)

Then I saw the comment that the CFAI mocks are much better quality.

So I did the 2014 am and 2013 am you can find on the cfai website. It’s true they are very good quality ( but i thought the schweser were ok). Scoring about 70% as well.

Now I did the practice exam 5 (2 from book 2) from scheser (just am part), and i found it really really bad. I have not corrected yet. I read that the exam 6 (3 from book 2) is the worst. Is it true ? Then I think it’s really not worth it. Are the pm sessions ok in your opinion ?

On the AM mocks found on cfai website: are they actual exams from those year ? where can you find more and which ones would you recommend ?

Has anyone done Finquiz Mock 6 by chance? How’s the quality of it?

Trying to figure out how to prioritize this final week, and Finquiz mocks have been extremely up and down in terms of quality.

Thanks.

I think konvexity mocks are a lot better than finquiz mate.

Better stick with CFA EOC/BB maybe

Do you seriously have to explain the calculations for full marks? I’ve been assuming that if you get the correct answer, you don’t really have to write out the full formula in notation etc. Is that wrong?

[kjames05]

Done 8 so far. 65, 68, 72, 69, 77, 79, 82, 77. Planning on doing 3 more

[yhim13]

and exact 70% in 2014 CFA AM. with 15 mins left

[vicky_cool400]

63% in 2015 pm mock (morning)

I think answer to q 40 on hedging is wrong

[tozerrt]

@vicky\_cool400

63% in 2015 pm mock (morning)

If ever in doubt, Vicky, you’re probably right…

It’s right. The payment due on the final date is based on the rate from the prior period, 2.00% (below the floor so you use the floor rate), and you use the day count from the final period.

Hey Cube

I am talking about the other 2015 mock.

[JSobes]

78.3% on 2015 AM (Litman)

MY BODY IS READY.

[CFACamp]

82% yay.

Morning 2013 81%

Total 82%. Now if I can run good on the exam.

[Viceroy]

@Viceroy

Strong candidates in here.

I actually suck

Did 1 PM mock : got 58 %

Did 4 AM actual exams : got 39 %, then 50 %, then 55 %, then 58 % on my last one.

At least there is a steady improvement in my AM scores. I really hope to reach the 65 % bar on both AM’s and PM’s in the next 5 days.

Added my latest in bold. Happy to be approaching something that could be a pass on the AM, combined with a PM 70 + of course.

However, I am now correcting the 2010 AM, and I’ll be scoring around 50 on that one. It’s like a perfect storm of all the stuff I know the least.

Whatever, I’ll just keep on grinding until exam day and hope luck will be on my side.

That’s the strategy for all of us, brother haha

[jessica_c]

scoring about 60% on past AMs and 65% on PMs…scores not really improving…feeling screwed

Hey Cube

I am talking about the other 2015 mock.

The uk/ Germany hedge question is right… the statement mentions expectation in one currency and then frames the question in respect to the other currency.
