The AM paper I thought was difficult. In fact I was rushed to finish the questions. I really felt the PM paper was quite easy overall which was a relief at the time. If I fail the exam it will be because of poor performance on Quan methods and Fixed Income. This is because I ran out of time in my study preparations on those two topics.
Without going in to detail of the exam. If I fail it would be because I didnt do enough of the past papers more than anything else. I think I have a good general understanding of CFA level 1 now, just need to pass the exam
I will continue to study (in case I fail) to do a resit in 6 months time if I didnt quite do enough.
Looking back the questions werent very hard! Pehaps my imagination(or because I was better prepared) but it did seem easier than the first time I sat it.

I just figured out why you thought the PM was easier and I thought the AM was easier. Southern Hemisphere vs. Northern Hemisphere. It all makes sense now.

I wrote the exam in Australia, and I really found AM easier.

I definitely thought the AM was harder, especially Ethics, very very tricky questions. I started the PM very strong, felt like I was flying through Ethics and Quants. Econ portion gave me some troubles. I was pretty confident going into the exam, but feel it could be a toss up as for how I did.
