So i have the qbank from schweser, but ive read a lot of people saying that theyre easier as opposed to the real thing. would doing the Wile qbank along with schweser be sufficient for level 1?

I am also wondering for same thing. Many people said on these forum that schweser question bank is very much quantitative and wiley qbank is qualitative that makes concepts clear. Really appreciate if someone share/guide.
Thank you:)
 
Question banks tend to be a lot more quantitative than the actual exam, for good reason: calculation questions are easy to write, while conceptual questions are a lot more difficult.
Make sure that you you can do the qualitative questions well; that’s 90% of what you’ll see on the exam.
My candidates are constantly telling me how surprised they are at how little they used their calculators on the actual exam.
 
That makes sense. So, are there any question banks that you recommend in addition to the official CFA Institute questions?
 
I agree with S2000magician. A firm grasp on the concepts is vital for passing CFA Level 1 exam.

Thank you so much S2000magician. I am planning to do all CFA curriculum EOC, blue box questions, and topic test and mock test, followed by video lectures. Does CFA curriculum questions reflect actual difficulties of real exam?
 
I was told by a few guys who passes level 1 that the CFA EOC questions are the best as compared to the actual thing, Schweser is supposedly easier. Best thing to do is EOC and as many practice exams as possible.
Personally, I am going to do the EOC, Schweser Qbank, and the mock and whatever practice exam is available (schweser has 4 exams I think, CFA site has 1-2 i believe and i think can get practice exams from different sites). they suggested do at least 4 practice exams before the exam.
