Opinion on Item Set practice from here on out

CFA Level III
#1

I’ve done 7 item set mocks so far with varying quality. Wiley was not good at all, IFT mixed, Schweser was probably the best of the ones I’ve done. Some outlier low scores, but 4 of the 7 i scored between 68-74%

In addition to those, I did the corresponding AMs (average high 50’s, hit 65 once), and still have 5 AM mocks from S2000Magician and an essay workshop with C&B. I am saving the official CFAI Mock for the final week.

My item set scores are WAY higher in the CFAI Qbank… I’m finishing up my second go around in there and closer to 80% average score (which only puts me in 58-60 percentile, surprisingly).

For those that have taken the exam - am I scoring higher in CFAI Qbank simply because the questions are well-written and these are more relevant to exam day questions? I am debating between finding more PM mocks to do from a prep provider, OR just going through CFAI Qbank for a third time to practice item set topics in this final stretch. My gut tells me sticking with CFAI Qbank will be the right move for this final push as opposed to third-party prep, but I’d like to hear other opinions, particularly if you disagree.

That makes me feel a lot better knowing people are doing the CFAi question banks more than once. I was very scared to be in 37th percentile first time around with 74%.

Man do you have a work? No offence, but for how long have you studied? I’m depressed.

Exactly cause people are doing CFAI more then once the percentile doesnt make much sense…
Would go over Blue boxes again
