I’m considering buying some mock exams from Schweser. Anyone know if there’s a difference between the 1st and 2nd volume? The only thing I can think of is the 2nd volume is harder. But that seems weird and unlikely. Thanks.
 
You are correct, the 2nd volume is harder to get you fully prepared for the real exam.
 
Vol 2 is definitely harder and not a good replica of the exam. I just did AM session of its first mock and then put them aside.
 
I’m only getting one volume since they’re $150 each and I already have 4 other mock exams. Should I just get Volume 1 then? Thanks.
 
Yeah you would be fine with Volume 1. Btw if you really are pressed for bucks then why don’t you check out the elan mocks? I’m not sure if they have they increased their prices now, but back in June there three mocks just cost me $130. And they are definitely more challenging and closer to CFA institute’s mocks.

Yeah I’m studying with Elan so I already have their 3 mocks and I was planning on getting the CFAI mock also. I thought it might be good to do more than 4 mocks so that’s why I asked about the Schweser ones. I’ll get Volume 1, thanks for the advice.
 
Are there any other sources you guys get mock exams from? Possibly free?
I got the Schweser ones but some alternative to compare would be nice.
Thanks
