Chances of passing. Strategy for the latest weeks

[Penagose]

What are the chances of passing for someone who has been getting on average 65% on each topic test BUT has not done (till now) anything of Economics…. ?
However, I plan to read the Summaries of the Economic Schweser Book and do some excercises…
My strongest areas are FRA (68% topic test), Ethics (68% tt), Portfolio Mngement (85%), Corporate Finance, Equity Investment, and Alternative Investments.
Any recommendation on how to attack the material these latest days?
Thanks,
EP

Try to attempt mock exam of CFA institute and see where you stand. However, the figures you mentioned are average, what I have heard actual CFA exam is very tough compared to even Mock exam, topic test etc.
Make sure you have very good grip and strength in each reading of entire curriculum and try to get 85% or above in each topic test and mock, then in actual CFA exam, you might touch the figure of 68% plus which can create great chances for you to pass the exam.
All the best for your future endeavor..

No one can really give you chances of passing. You are on the fence, you need to kick ass these next few weeks. Take some mocks and REALLY study the questions you are getting wrong as thats the only way yo uwill improve

As above, I certainly don’t think that it’s too late to get there but you have some serious work ahead of you. IMO scores below 70% on two of the key topics (FRA - 20% of the exam by itself - and Ethics) should definitely be providing an indication of key focus areas for you.
Smash out as many practice questions as you can. Those that you get wrong, read the rationale underlying the correct solution then revisit the text to improve your understanding. Write down any formulae that you are forgetting in a list and review them regularly - this has been a great method of retention for me.
