Obviously there’s some survivorship bias since I’m asking the Level 2 candidates, but I just want to get an idea -
How many Qbank questions did you do before passign Level 1?
And when I say “do”, I mean “if you got it correct, you moved on. If you got the answer wrong, you read the rationale and made a semi-serious effort to figure out why you got it wrong”
There’s 3000 questions on the CD and 240 questions on the real thing. So theoretically I guess you could do 10-13 unique exams, but I can’t imagine you all needed 10 practice runs before exam day.
i did 1500 for level 1, now i have done 500 (aprox). But i feel better the eoc and re-reading the material. I mean, youre nit wasting ur time with the qbank, just make sure u get everything u can from the curriculum/eoc/schweser notes
did you “just” read the curriculum and did eoc? I have done all the eoc and i got some answers grong, then i read the explanation and understood them. Do you recommed doing them again? Or shoul i continue re-reading, qbank and mocks?
When I took the exams, there was no Qbank, and the curriculum was merely a selection of chapters from various textbooks; the only “EOC” questions were what you would normally see in a textbook.
I read the chapters, read Schweser’s notes, did one or two practice exams, and took a 2-3 day Schweser review course (Carl Schweser taught the Level I review, and Andy Temte taught the Level II and Level III reviews).
I did not use the qbank for level 1 but I did 3 or 4 mock exams… multiple times. I’m purely speculating here but I must have done 2k questions from the Mocks/CFAI EOC.
