I would suggest Konvexity Mocks, they seemed pretty close to the real thing

At the expense of coming across as a horrible person, may I recommend working on your English comprehension? Not saying you can’t communicate, you’re doing quite well, but CFAI materials and test seem to be written at a high level with a great deal of nuance. That becomes a barrier to those whom English is a second language. Perhaps read directly from the CFAI texts with an eye on nuance. To be fair, the material is dense for me and I basically read 10Ks and 10Qs for a living!
What I did was underline key passages in individual and institutional portfolio management and especially in ethics to ensure I had the important stuff noted before writing my answer, filling in a blank. I think this is an overlooked point that may add some points to your score. Anyhoo, hope it helps!

Thanks for all the comments here. Helps me as well for 2017. Thanks again buddies. Thanks Babyik for the thread.
 
I would look into LevelUp Bootcamp (Instructor Marc). The slides/book/classes are set-up perfectly for a pass. I walked out confident and I passed with high marks. Honestly, it’s worth it, all things considered. Cost alone beats spending $120k on an advanced degree, which is another discussion.
 
I did all the mocks from 2006-2015 which I think helped a lot. Gostudy.io also has a very good guide which really helped for the AM section.

I focused strictly on AM mocks and prior year exams. Figured afternoon would be a breeze which it was.
