The BSAS on Saturday destroyed my confidence going into this exam. After scoring a whopping 63% on it after passing Book 6 tests with solid margins, I realize that I need to go over the entire FSA book again. I also plan to redo all of the John Harris problems. I would reccomend taking it if you can, as it might provide the motivation you need to pull this thing off.
 
Did you find the exam to be more conceptually based (as many say the actual exam has fewer calcs than the practice exams)?
 
Yes it was like that Plyon. I guess there were around 20 problems max where you had to use Calculator. Even I got 62% in that. I took Schweser 1 and got 68%.

I need to do FI, FSA, ECON, PM etc.
 
The FSA was especially brutal. I thought the Ethics, PM, and Quant were relatively straightforward.
 
is BSAS online package of 99 USD is worth and even better than CFA online(USD 50)?
BSAS is providing more Qs vis a vis CFAI online(latter is overpriced;-))

its L-II stuff is Cheaper :(
 
I took it today... the organisation that organised it will provide the results tomorrow.

Must say it was quite tough and indeed.. FSA is the true challenge. Can't imagine scoring good on that part.
 
Wow. That makes me feel alot better. Sounds like you are a lock to pass. Thanks for the info.
 
Seems like the ssia price went up to $125 (from $50).
