Thank you in advance for your help! I am taking Level 1 in December, I started doing Schweser QBank questions this week and was scoring in the mid-high 60's. I took my first full length practice exam this weekend and scored a 50%. I am concerned and plan on seeing how I scored in certain topic areas and going back and re-reading those sections. Did anyone else experience this? Is this something to be concerned by? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hey @mark_lasky, this is perfectly normal - we talk about this in point #6 in Things We Love to Hate about the CFA Exams. Here's a post that will help you bring up your score: http://www.300hours.com/1/post/2013/04/got-a-really-low-score-on-your-practice-exam-heres-4-reasons-to-not-worry-how-to-improve.html
