I got the Essential Solution package.
A little over two weeks before the exam, I scored an 80 and 84 on the CFAI mock exams. I had about an hour left over in both three-hour sessions to review. Also on the Saturday two weeks before the exam, I took the BSAS mock (timed in a classroom environment with other students) and scored a 79 in the morning and 81 in the afternoon. Then between taking those practice exams and Dec. 6, I had time off work and put in 12-15 hours everyday to do questions and review stuff I had forgotten.
During the real exam, I managed to finish the morning session in an hour and felt comfortable in my answers (minus some of the ethics; I found ethics hard). I finished the afternoon in an hour and a half (I stayed the full 3 hours in the afternoon and reviewed my answers 3 times). I can't recall the exact amount, but I don't think there were more than 15 questions that I couldn't figure out.
Am I confident I passed? Not exactly, it's easy to mess this stuff up, right? I am just hoping that I stayed consistent with my practice exams and that the two weeks of review helped give me a boost. Let's hope for the best for everyone here.
