Guys, am level 3 candidate and was facing the same situation than you last year. Mock exams are just killers, way more difficult. Keep it up, you will make it…
FYI, I scored 58% at the CFAI Mock Exam 3 days before the exam !
Sweet Music to my ears man!
This is all i needed to hear
rightly said man
 
Just go for the final sprint now, there is no exact rule…. i have seen people scoring way above 70 and still failing the exam. It is also a question to manage the real exam, being calm, efficient and able to finish it. If you score between 60-70, you have a chance.

Vicky_cool400, this is just reality. Scoring above 70 is not a guarantee of passing… just as scoring below 70 is not a guarantee of failing. As said, I was scoring 58% at my CFAI mock exam 3 days before and remember to have been devastated and frustrated. Don’t put too much attention to the score of those mock exams… unless you are below 60.
 
Doji, how did you pass with that score?
I scored below and failed, its all luck.

quick question regarding the section breakdown on the CFAI Level II Mock.
the equity section only consists of 3 item sets over the two sessions. if it is supposed to be 20%-30% of the entire exam, wouldn’t that mean there would have to be at least four item sets on the actual exam? just checking to see if I was missing something or if the CFAI was giving us more problems in other areas (which would be odd, imho).
 
I can’t beleive DOJI score is a pass, I was band 10 and I can see i have 2 sections higher than that and the rest similar!!! my mock last year was 74%
