Schweser Exams vs Actual Level 1 Exam

[BryanDal1]

Are the Schweser Practice Exams close to the CFA exams, from anyone who has taken them. It sees like the must know formulas ( Dupont, etc.) aren’t as represented on the Schweser exams, and it is hard to try and focus on must know topics. Any advice on how close they are to the real exam?
Thanks

I’ve taken four and the CFAI mock and i felt that the CFAI mock was slightly more challenging. I would suggest you take it also, as a full exam, as it makes sense that CFAI-issued mock exam would be most representative of what you can expect. It’s available at the the CFAI website for free.

Thanks for the advice. I am waiting until I am really sure about the topics before I take the CFA mock to try and gauge where I stand. I will definetely do that and try to learn from there.
Good luck on the exam
