** Book 6, CFAI - EXAM SCORES **

hi iblees…
re-read the question… they are asking for the “least appropraite action”…
in which case, speaking to the person directly and getting an assurance that it wont happen again is the correct answer, since it is nowhere near prudent enough (compared to the other choices)
 
Book 6 - 1am= 64%
Book 6 - 1pm= 68%
Book 6 - 2am= 74%
Book 6 - 2pm= 68%
then took a study break for 3 days. and now ive done
CFAI 1 - 78%
CFAI 2 - 78%
Doing Book 6 # 3 tommorow all day.
Any chance of passing with these scores?
 
You`re right Bleuey, I misread the question. Damn, I`d say a good 25% of my mistakes are misreadings..Gotta be more careful on the exam, no question about it.
 
Hey everybody, I just finished Book 6. Like a poster above, I used E1 for review. Here are my disappointing scores:
E-2 am - 67%
E-2 pm - 66%
E-3 am - 74%
E-3 pm - 66%
I was hoping this afternoon’s test would improve upon the 74% I scored this morning, but I found this afternoon test much more difficult. It seemed to focus on some very time consuming problems. In fact, I find that I barely have enough time to finish these tests in 3 hours.
I’m planning on taking a CFAI online exam tomorrow, which I understand is a bit less wordy. However, I am pretty comfortable with the equations and calculations. It’s the really deep conceptual problems that start giving me some issues. Are the concepts on the CFAI exams pretty basic?
Man, I’m worried…
 
There are substanially more conceptual questions on the CFAI exams, however, the wording is generally easier to understand. Where I have trouble is in some of the problems that relate strictly to the CFA cirriculum. One that comes to mind was Taylor vs McAllum in macro econ - im fairly certain schweser didnt mention these guys (the question turned out to be very easy tho - along the lines of taylor=keynesian, mcallum = monetarist). I also found it easier to reason through some solutions on the CFA test when i was un sure of the answer.

I wonder if the CFAI purposefully includes these types of questions on the exam to punish people for not buying their texts.
 
just finished the book 6 exams, here we go:
Book 6 Exams
Exam Status Score
Book 6 Exam 1 AM Review Test 83%

Book 6 Exam 2 AM Review Test 78%
Book 6 Exam 2 PM Review Test 81%
Book 6 Exam 3 AM Review Test 84%

I still seem to be getting EXACTLY the same questions wrong, over and over…. i just hope the next few days is enough to remedy them
 
1 am -76
1 pm -70 -not going to count this - i had to take a break because my 1.5 month old was crying
2 am -72
2 pm 81
3 am 78
3pm 78
CFAI 3 -78.33 -Ethics shook my confidence,but FSA was great 100%.
 
Talked to some of my friends who have passed Level I and II.
They all said that Schweser exams are totally different to real exam. It is hard to say which one is more difficult because these are two different types of questions.
Anyway, they said time in real exam is not as challenging as schweser exams as you don’t need to do lots of calculation.
