A complete blow to one's confidence

I’ve noticed that the CFA mock vignettes are noticeably longer than any other mocks I’ve done…Anyone else feel this way too?

Yes, and they add a lot of unnecessary detail too.

Agree. I took 3.5 hours to complete the mock coz of two reasons - 1) accessing PDF is much more difficult, you cannot highlight main points as you move on which i can do in exam. 2) Too long vignettes. Nevertheless I was not looking for time but the score and i ended up scoring 80% without looking anywhere (books/formulas). I think i need to develop more speed on reading though coz in exam I have heard many people guessing answers in the end due to time constraint.

My advise dont do on line mocks print them and treat them as EOC to build more confidence i did print from 2010-2015 my first attemp i so them to be too trick and hard but as i keep practicing them i now find them to be too easy and am very confident
Where did you get these from? CFAI should give access to all previous mocks (atleast for last 7 years - Record Retention!)

It won’t help much doing Mocks before 2015 - lots of changes in Standards and syllabus making older Mocks redundant.

Probably coz of extra time!!
 
PM - I must say to you that do not get demotivated. If you are getting between 65 to 75% on avg in Mocks and decent score in Ethics, you should not be worry about. With just five more days left (in India), I feel you should go back to your questions which you couldnt solve/ or guessed. Just look at EOC/Practice Problems, Assessments and Mocks. Spend 1.5 day only on ethics.
 
I wouldn’t be discouraged by this at all. That mock is harder than the actual exam. You are good for probably another 5-10% over what you scored on that mock which puts you into passing range. How are you doing on the online assessment questions?
