I think I totally deserved this after this amount of work I put in, sacrificing so much. So do the rest of you, wish the best to you guys, and see you in lvl 3 forum.
 
thats a beastly matrix my man
if you dont mind my asking what were your mocks? I scored Band 9 this year and i was high 50s low 60s
 
Dear Tommyjohn,
I did one cfai official mock and scored 62% in the am session and 63% in pm. Other than that i did all schweser mocks, scoring between 65% to 75%, i humbly say I was worried i might be near the edge of MPS when I was about to take the exam. I don’t expect to outperform my ability by that much on the real exam day, but I did work extremely hard on study, reviewing each mock carefully after i took it, if God is watching, my effort was paid off i guess.
my advice, do all the mocks until you throw up, and when you are done throwing up, get back up and keep doing it, and review to make sure you understand how you got wrong, you will see the result, good luck buddy.
 
Nice score man! My breakdown is exactly the same as yours except I got >70 in corp finance and 50-70 in Ethics.
 
next year I want to be the guy who is crushing mid 70s mocks. Hoping that a 11/1 start date will give me exactly that
 
Tommyjohn - I’d highly recommend using the CFAI curriculum. I used K/S alone for level 2 back in 2015 failed band 5. I used CFAI circ. and started Dec 1 and passed this time. Not like Kyle Smith, but enough to move on. Hang in there, you’ll get it.

Hi Tommyjohn,
I only used Wiley Curriculum, CFAI EOC and Topic Tests, and Schweser Mocks and passed all >70 but PM (50-70). I did 8 or so mocks (CFAI,Wiley, & Schweser) and averaged low 70s.
I started 11/1 with breaks for Holidays
 
I used Kaplan and blue box EOC questions in CFAI material. I will just say I used Kaplan for 95% of my studies. I do not understand why people say Kaplan is not sufficient by itself to pass level 1 and 2. I strongly disagree with that assessment and there was not one question on that test that was not covered somewhere in that Kaplan material. If you found that topics were skipped in Kaplan, well then that’s because you forget you read it, did not read it or are looking for excuse to blame your study provider. With 705 hours of study (yes thats a lot) and 12.5 full mocks I can confidently say Kaplan is enough if you put the effort in. I got over 70% in all topics except Ethics. My mocks were scoring into mid 70s, low 80’s for the most part (first mock was a 68).
