Does anyone know the difficulty of Schwesser Pro questions ( harder or easiear than actaul exam)? Assuming you create an exam where w/ Advance, Intermediate, and Hard Question w/ CFA weighting does anyone out there know if that's close to the actual exam?

Also are those old CFA exams that on the CFA website close to the expected difficulty of the actual exam?

Thanks!
 
A lot easier??? I'm getting 80-85% correct using SchweserPro with CFA weighting and all question levels. I was assuming this was good. Now I'm disappointed.

Is 80-85% still "good enough" to get ~ 70% on the exam? I'm also confused about a good target for the exam. I read in Schweser that 70% is a goal and read in other tips that 70% is excellent.

I know CFA doesn't publish all the details, but are there any estimates as to what % of questions must be passed? Is 70% like an "A"???
 
mofo,
Last June I used schweser pro and scored about 85% across question difficulties. I also scored about about 85-90% on all the Schweser practice tests. The schweser pro questions are occasionally wacky, but the practice tests are pretty accurate. You should aim for mid to high 80s in your practice tests because you will be nervous on exam day and might not score as well.

70% will always pass on the actual exam. There are no grades.
 
I have heard varying opinions, some people say they are easier, some harder. I do think many of the questions are quite involved, but there are probibly other factors that colour people's judgements, i.e. the nerve of exam day, the new format of the CFA questions, the twists that they put in the wording may be different. Also when someone studies a practice test at home there are many factor that can also influence their preformance.
 
pls send me the CDs, let me check if it's hard or easy:)
