Can you please send me CFA website's link.[QUOTE=bhavin422;1548048]a quick update from my end ..

took up the mock exam from CFA website..
attempted both session back to back as they are meant to be taken...

Morning Afternoon Total

Ethics 14/18 14/18 28/36
Quant 13/14 12/14 25/28
Eco 8/12 10/12 18/24
FSA 17/24 19/24 36/48
CF 9/10 8/10 17/20
EI 5/12 9/12 14/24
DI 5/6 6/6 11/12
FI 7/12 9/12 16/24
AI 5/6 4/12 9/12
PM 5/6 3/6 8/12
____ _____ ______
88/120 94/120 182/240

Though overall , not bad...still sectional issues...
Surprisingly, i did better in afternoon session ....but serious serious concentration issues ..

Couple of questions :
1) when we say we need to clear sectional cut offs, is it session wise as well, or do they consider composite sectionals ?

2) any tips to survive till last minute ? i was lucky to survive d afternoon session..

Thanks.....


Ravi Dubey.

Considerable performance dip in afternoons. Used to sleeping in the afternoon .
Would rather prefer a 5 hr exam from 9am -2 pm with a half an hour break.
Worried about entering the test area in the morning. 7500 ppl are giving the exam. I wonder why the exam wasn't arranged in all metros. Foolish.

As far as the questions are concerned, I gave official mock right at the end. Lots of questions aren't clear. In the sense, we have to make assumptions, which would vary from person to person. They seem to be playing on words.
Am really worried about Ethics.

Don't worry about 70%. There is 'curving', plus I believe one can clear even after failing 2-3 sections.

Here are my results.

Morning Afternoon

Official Mock 108 102

Exam 1 – Volume 1 96 110
Exam 2 – Volume 1 106 108
Exam 3 – Volume 1 110 104

Exam 1 – Volume 2 107 98
Exam 2 – Volume 2 109 104
Exam 3 – Volume 2 103 103

skipped a few tests to randomly take up Volume 2 Exam 2 morning session ...i found the questions too lengthy ....serious time problem, at 3 hours time, i was still short of 5 questions

Score 90 /120 ...(attempts 115) sectionals were okay...
hope not to have a similar actual paper..

Holy_luv, wat were your mock scores buddy ?
