I have commented on this before, but the vignettes to me weren’t that big of a deal. (this is my second pass @ L2). Sure, there are more opportunity for them to sneak in “short” instead of long on a forward contract or something, but in general all in all a vignette is just a collection of individual information for questions that they somehow weave into a narrative.
In other words, vignette or no, its information for 6 isolated questions that aren’t based on one another. I don’t think the question format is really all that much different from L1 save the narrative.
I don’t think a 75% on Qbank translates to 75% on the CFA exam, but suffice it to say if you’re killing Qbank, you are probably ok on the exam. I’m shooting for 80’s in qbank consistently while doing EOC questions to try to focus on what is important to the CFAI and the areas I’m weakest. I can say from experience the material in the EOC’s correlates somewhat closely to what you will face on the exams.
Qbank is a great indicator of what you dont know or need to re-cover (IMO).
Don’t let vignette scare ya.
