Totally Blew Schweser Mock #5 PM

Got ~50% – felt like I was taking a different exam. I’ve scored above 80% (being conservative) on the AM mocks multiple times, and have a 73% on other Schweser mocks. That one destroyed me.

Has anyone else taken that one yet? From Volume 2.

Sounds like you’re way ahead of the game with 80% scores

Just trying to do everything I can to pass on the first attempt. I don’t want to take this a second time.

Still felt like that Schweser mock #5 was brutal lol

I havent gotten to number 5 yet, but I feel like Schweser tests some pretty ridiculous concepts at times. I believe they are good at making you understand certain things, but when I do prior CFA morning papers and compare them to Schweser, I have come to the realization that CFA is more straightforward and tests more of the core concepts rather than the “the trees”. Just my opinion.

I asked schweser representatives about this and they indicated that they would rather error on the side of making the exams too hard vs. too easy.

I took Schweser Vol 2 exam #2 PM over the weekend and scored 71%

I can’t seem to break 73% on any of the sections! if i got 80% on any of them i’d be super happy!

Yeah, others I’m scoring around 73%! But I agree with what others have posted – they might be overly difficult and tricky, but at a minimum it hels tease out concepts if nothing else.

I found 2016 CFA mock PM really really really hard.

I did make some dumb mistakes but i got 65% which is the lowest i’v gotten so far

that ripped my confidence in half especially because it was a CFA provided mock test.

Your thread title sounded like you drank one too many Zimas, and you were trying something you’ve never done before.
