I’ll be taking Level I in December 15’ and would like some input regarding best use of time for practice problems/Q-banks/mock exams.
EOC Questions: CFAI vs. Schweser - I’m trying to complete the EOC questions from both, but was wondering if one is more beneficial over the other. CFAI seems to go in greater depth and be somewhat more theoretical, so I want to make sure it is worth time to go through them all.
Q-Bank: Schweser vs. Wiley - I’ve heard the Q-Bank from Schweser is easier vs Wiley, but wanted to get some input from those who have experience with both.
Mock Exams - CFAI is supposed to be the most difficult, so I will choose those over third party exams. Does anyone recommend Schweser or Wiley for mocks?I learn best by working through problems.
Thanks for the input.
 
CFAI EOC questions are great. Through Level II I have not completed any that were not multiple choice style as it bugged me. I would recommend it if you have time though.
CFAI publishes some assessments for each topic - linked from your study planner - that are excellent. I did all of them for Level I and found them to be much more difficult than the actual exam. Level II I did a couple and same thing. If you do well on all those you should be sitting pretty.
Haven’t done any mock exams, but from what I have read CFAI material is the best to get you prepared for how the questions will read on the actual exam day.
I signed up for Schweser Level II Daily email questions and they were ridiculously easy. I could have answered most in high school. If those are the types of questions Schweser comes out with I would say it’s useless.
