I scored 64% in cfa 2012 mock. Got hammered in fra/equity
Then solved 50 caselets on each and bought elan videos for pension/intercorporate

what are these caselets you are talking about? I want to get more practice in for FRA and Equity

Interesting. What’s your feedback on these? How do they compare to doing QBank? Are there many errors? I’m swimming in study material with not much time left so really only want to focus on the material that’s going to have the most impact.

I only briefly glanced at these and there were several grammatical errors - color me skeptical.

Yeah but the quality of questions are terrific .Will check concepts in detail. Its by a new indian startup CFA firm so some rrors are there. But do try EQUITY+FRA caselets.

I’m in the same boat here. I’ve scored from 50-65% on Mocks. Anyways, I posted this on another thread:
I let AF get to me on Level 1 when I saw guys posting crazy good mock scores. Just need to keep in mind that:

• You’re more likely to post results if you do well on them.
• Nobody knows if a posted test result is legit or not.
• The people who post on AF do so because they are tapping every resource they can for this test. They probably are not your average test-taker.

All that being said, take the 80-90% results as a kick in the ass and get crunching on the studies! 18 days will pass before you know it. Good luck to all!

Thought the same at the beginnig but from all these sets I would recommend doing FRA - it’s last (probably no 6) item set. It won’t take you long but will indeed check your grasp of it inside out!

am i looking in the wrong spot or, outside of the ones shown on the page to which we’re linked, are the item sets organized within a forum thread?

Tried the first several of those. Seemed like very good item sets. Difficult, but not stuff that is pulled out of the footnotes. I did find what I thought was 1 error and minor grammatical things, but overall I really like these. I think the total breakdown available is something like:
10 equity, 7 FRA, 7 Derivatives, 4 quant.
Given the 2 largest sections are equity and FRA (by far), and derivatives gives a lot of people trouble, this appears to be a great source of add’l practice item sets.
Only drawback is the explanation aren’t very thorough. All that makes you do though is reference the concept in the curriculum, which probably helps you learn it better anyways.
