It goes without say that the CFA practice exams are more accurate than the Schweser ones, but what which one is more difficult?
 
the CFA practice exam is more difficult than the Schwesers.
I don’t think I’m allowed to tell you how difficult the CFA real exam is. All I can say is that if you can get high 60s, low 70s on Schweser you should be just fine.
 
thanks cleverCFA for the comment. ive done sooooo many schweser mocks and only 1 CFAI mock and i always kept asking myself ‘is this really representative of the actual CFA mocks’.. by the way i found the CFAI mock just abit more challenging than the schweser ones mainly because they seem to throw around lots of info in questions, some of which is aimed at just confusing you (for lack of a better word) but remain unimportant/useless in answering the question at hand..
 
I would be more cautious than cleverCFA and suggest you need 70 minimum before you can feel comfortable
 
Thanks guys. The Schweser EOC questions compared to CFA EOC questions are simply incomparable in my opinion, the Schweser questions being much, much simpler. I had a much harder time doing the the CFA EOC questions, but I haven’t yet had a chance to compare the Schweser and CFA practice tests yet.
