Practice Exam Score Review

[mamamia]

How much do you think one should score in the Schweser practice questions to have a reasonable chance of getting through? i have not even started on my allen resources questions :-(

I think the general consensus is that the Schweser practice exams are more challenging than the CFAI mocks, and having previously sat the exam I’d tend to agree. However, regularly hitting 75%+ would probably be the best indication of knowing the material. Always a subjective question!

75-80%

I’ve always heard the reverse.

If you can reliably hit above 60% on practice exams you have a shot. Above 75% consistently is really good.

I don’t think there is a magic number, but I echo 75% - 80%. They’re going to luck us in a room for six hours so on top of the normal exam distractor, I have a feeling a buffer will be required to compensate for any less then ideal conditions you may be used to when studying at home, library..etc.
