I recently started doing the CFAI topic tests and is it just me or are they very poorly worded? I also noticed they use a lot of abbreviations for terms that aren’t always obvious. Has anyone else noticed this? They’re better prep than the QBank but the Schweser mocks I feel are much better.
 
If the FRA sections on the real exam are similar to most of the topic tests on the CFAI website I am toast
 
Exam will be more like CFAI than Schweser. Stop wasting your time on Schweser at this point as I found them to be a joke. You need to get used to the way the CFAI asks questions or you are done.
 
I took Level 2 last year and failed Band 7. I can tell you that the CFAI topic tests are most certainly not the way the actual test vignettes are laid out
 
I still have to do a schwser mock so I can’t say anything about them, but from level 1 I remember that schweser’s mocks were much harder than cfa topics and they prepared my very well for the exam.
Now I am experiencing some difficulties with the CFA topics (especially FRA and Economics where I am still guessing too many questions and results are bad) and I also find that they are poorely worded and the solutions are very confusing (sometimes even the formulas/calculation are wrong).
I am a bit frustrated with the results of the CFA topics so I don’t know if it’s better to switch to schweser.
