A bit frustrated after doing this one…
Is this the normal test level?
 
I just did my first mock today (well, one half of the 2015 Mock, the one that starts with the Kim Case scenario).
Just scored 58%, which sucks ass and would be a certain fail on exam day, but considering that it covered many readings that I hadn’t re-read in months I didn’t find it hard at all.
How did you find it ?
I am also curious if that is representative of actual PM difficulty level.
 
I thought the item set questions were fair. Lots of typical CFAI curveballs but shockingly low amount of calculations which aligns with my study strategy.
 
Sue Kim - Item Set
Overall: 62%
Got bombed in Individual Portfolio Management Zone - 2/6; 33%. I use double time for it as well….poor reading skill :(
 
67% in the first one…. Galli is right though.. Hardly any calculations in this one!!
To be honest it was really really difficult and I was making educated guesses on some of it.
 
Individual, Alternative, GIPS are difficult for this item-set.
 
The individual was difficult…. 2/6. The others I got 4/6 or 5/6. I messed up the first Kim itemset ethics with only 3/6
 
Wow, you nailed GIPS! I’m still far from there…
