Level 2 - What is the average percentage you guys are scoring in schweser practice exams volume 1 & 2 ??
 
oh thats a pretty good score i guess ! I end up getting 65%-70% with negative skewness
Plan to take the CFA Institute 40$ Mock exam next week..hope to score better there..
 
65-70 is good but if you can push it to 67 - 75 you would be in a very good position.
i never heard of the 40$ CFAi mock exam? you get get this on the website of the CFAi? do you have a link?
thanks

I believe the $40 pays for a smaller sample exam, not a full mock. That’s what I recall from the level 1 version.

when I enter my Candidate ID and last name, there is no PIN and ID showing up… does anyone have the same problem?
i have a special caracter in my last name the letter é
this is very annoying.
 
I just completed the Schweser practice exams volume 1 as of this afternoon. I scored 82, 85, 88, 88, 88, 82 on each respective half in that order. Average 85.5, Std Dev. 2.69. Low kurtosis, ever so slight negative skew?
The questions I got wrong are usually due to lack of knowledge. Sometimes it is because I am confused by the wording, or flustered by all the information, so I misunderstand/misread the question or the vignette.
Edit: I realized I should use Standard Error, since I’m measuring the sample standard deviation instead of the population’s.
 
those are gretzky-like numbers, wayne. i bet you score over 90 on vol. 2, exam 1 AM. score 82 on that one, but was averaging around 75 up to that point.
at this point though wayne, your scores don’t matter anymore. passing is inevitable. congratulations.
 
I don’t think I’m going to fail based on lack of aptitude. If I fail it’ll be because I get diarrhea and spend 40 minutes in the bathroom, or get a migraine, or get ADD over all the distractions, or get into a car accident and show up late with some minor cuts and bruising, or my car fails and I have to call a cab, or flip out and have a panic attack (which would be a first), or crack under the anxiety/nervousness (which would be a first as well). Those are the things I’m trying to create a buffer against by pushing my expected scores up as much as possible. Paranoid much? Yes. It’s just that I really want to be taking level 3 next year; it’s such an important part of my plans. So I feel as though I have a huge amount riding on passing this year.

I have the same problem but I wrote it down to not having actually paid for that mock. Anyway I decided against taking it, will take more of the Schweser mocks instead (them being geared toward also explaining why you chose the wrong answer)
 
Tried CFAI MOCK 2012 AM - 67%
Screwed up badly. Will be doing the PM tomorrow ! Morning session has disastrous question. Some concepts/types really new. Especially FRA and portfolio.
 
67% isn’t screwing up all that badly rishi. That very well might be a passing score or very close to one.
 
I started off really well with 6/6 in ethics, 6/6 in CF ! Last to vignettes were the worst ones x-(
It better be the passing score…being “close to one” wouldn’t be good enough. Did you take it up as well ?
 
I’ve taken 3 full mocks. Scores have ranged from 64% to 73%. Just need to keep working!
