Exam difficulty

[archived_user]

Sorry if not allowed to ask in L2 forum about L1, but I need an advice from candidates who actually passed L1 exam.
With respect to the classification of kaplan online Qbank question, (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced), what approx. % of the actual CFA Level 1 exam questions would you classify within each category?? Thanks!

For level 1, qbank isn’t bad but I would gauge my performance with Kaplan’s mock exams (and CFAI mocks), which are pretty strong for L1. I didn’t even know CFAI had a qbank or mocks util the last week. I didnt do any of the bluebox or eoc on CFA text either. … so my studies was all kaplan.
To answer your question.. I would guess:
Basic: 10-15%
Intermediate 60-70%
Advance: 15-30%
