Lots of June failures write it, and if they failed once, a combination of (a) lack of intelligence (b) poor study habits or (c) poor work ethic may be difficult to overcome. It’s a weaker pool, comprised mostly of past failures (of which I was one, so I’m not being unfair).CFALOBO wrote:I’ve thought about it, too. Not sure why it’s significantly lower.

70% or more. That’s how I looked at it.geo wrote:
How does one pass a mock exam? Do you do a full modified angnoff method based on results posted on AF or what? How do YOU set the MPS? Hmm…
I can’t think of a reason for you to be unfair. You’ve got the charter, so I’ll believe pretty much anything you say.geo wrote:

You took L1 three times?mk17 wrote:
Did it three times.
I think it’s safe to say there are more freebies on the actual exam and the actual exam questions are more straightforward.NANA Hachiko wrote:
i find the mocks are quite similar to the actual (am i the only one??) in terms of difficulty, and if i fail all my mocks i don’t think i would magically pass the actual exam.
although CFA is weird like that, you never really know how they come up with the bands and determine if you pass/fail.
There are no freebies!!CFALOBO wrote:

I didn’t pass 1 mock, so I think I’m toast unless the MPS is somewhere around 65%.
No, didn’t fall into a freebie trap. What I mean by freebies is a know it or don’t answer. I don’t want to give you an example in case it violates.NANA Hachiko wrote:

if you think they are freebies you probably have fallen into their traps?
Respectfully, we really don’t need this if you’re joking…Palantir wrote:
I never broke 55% in any mock at any time in level 1 or level 2, and I still passed. (Although with L2 I may have hit 60s, but not with L1).
I remember the weekend before I took the L1 exam, I did the mock, and got like a 45-50% on it. I pretty much cried myself to sleep that night, but managed to pull it together that week and and owned the exam. Please prepare better than me.
