I purchased the schweser q bank a while ago and have been using that a lot for my studying. I generally average around 70-80% on the test that I take.
However, I signed up for a free trial for the Wiley Q-Bank and my scores have gone down significantly.
It seems that there is a pretty wide gap in the difficulty between Schweser and the Wiley questions for the most part. Has anybody used both of these Q-Banks and had similar feelings? Should I be worried that I’m scoring a lot lower on the Wiley?
 
I prefer Wiley too.I felt like Schweser was very calculation heavy… which I suppose is ok if that’s what you struggle with. Wiley seems to be a lot more concept focused which I see as a plus if you alread have the math part nailed down.
 
I seem to prefer Wiley now because after going through a mock exam it seems that the math vs concepts weighting is more heavy on the concepts. I feel like the schweser q-bank is so overly math based and I think its very evenly balanced for wiley. I guess that’s why I’ve been doing worse on the wiley test banks.
I think it’s way easier to get the math down after repetition but the concepts can be much harder to grasp and much more important to understand in my opinion. Defenitly going to buy wiley mocks now.
 
I guess that brings me to another question… I bought the schweser study notes and have read through them all and seem to like them. However, with how heavily they weight the math on the q-bank and they seem to neglect a lot of the concept based questions… Do you feel like the WIley notes are more focused on concepts than schweser?

I haven’t seen the Schweser study notes but I do feel that Wiley does a good job of balancing concepts and calculations. If anything, Wiley uses calcuations to reinforce concepts and that has been really helpful for me. It’s helped me put it all together because I understand the how/why behind the formula and calculation.
 
I have been scoring 75-80% on Wiley QBank so far for the 25% of the material.
