How are we all doing on practice exams?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. As an accounting major i barely even get 90% on just FSA due to stupid mistakes that i make. Sure i know 100% of it, but again, i am human.

I was averaging low 70's last week. I went back to all my weak areas and did 120MC tests on those alone, came back to do 120 CFA weighted and i am now in the 80's. Just a suggestion :)

What do you guys think so far ?
 
I think they are OK given that we have 20+days to go.

I also tried a 3 Full lenght 240 Qs assuming I'm sitting to the actual exam just this last 3 weeks.

Ethics to Corporate Finance taken in PassMaster
Portfolio to Alternative in 2007 book 6 of schweser

1st try - 68%
2nd - 73%
Just recently (3rd) - 75%

Has anyone here already tried answering the Practice exam of Stalla, just like the book 6 of schweser, and also tried to answer the book 6 of schweser? how would you compare their difficulty?
 
Update

Exam 7, FSA/Corp Fin, 120 Q......83%

---"scoring above 80-90% during break at work, commute, and lunch time? If this isn't an ego trip I don't know what is."

It isn't, so I guess you answered your own question. Would you rather me not post my scores and just ask everyone how they're scoring? Do you have a problem with taking your studies seriously?
 
Just finished Schweser Book 7 Exam 1PM and got 71%
Mixed feelings, since Book 7 is definitely much harder than book 6 exam, if that's an excuse at all.

Is there n e one else working/planning to work on Book 7?

You have really good scores. Could be the best score we ever heard of, so relax and don't take studying to serios anymore ;-) Go out and party a bit...
 
Strangest thing. I got a 64 on a practice exam when I did the score as you go with answer explainations.

The 58 I got over the weekend was with no explainations/score as you go. Does the Qbank have different questions allocated to these settings?
 
Fisher SU - I am planning on doing book 7, but haven't yet. Planning to do the first one next week, as still working through book 6. But I am only getting 71% type marks on book 6!
 
It is not broken down like that for Schweser practice exam book. I took one the other day and scored 46%
 
KJH I dont think the questions are segregated at all, I think you might just be experiencing a little variation in your score. At least it is only 6% instead of a 20% swing or something.
