Level 1 mocks

Question

Hi everyone! So my exam is on 17th Feb and for the past one week I have been doing as many questions of each subject from Kaplan Schweser website and I am getting average of 75% I have not yet started CFA mocks, will start in another 4-5 days, I hope it doesn’t get late by then, also please comment on my %, will be really helpful for me. All the best to everyone!

Hi @ridhi1234 I think scoring above 70% is really good, as our estimated Minimum Passing Score (MPS) for Level 1 ranges from 58-65% in the recent years. But it varies year to year.That said, I would be wary of just sticking to one provider's practice questions, in case the difficulty is below CFA Institute's mocks. So it's a good idea to try CFAI mocks under strict exam conditions. Also worth considering trying other provider's question banks too for more varied practice. There's a few free ones in our Free Study Materials list e.g. UWorld and Salt Solutions that you can try out too. That said, you seem to be in a solid position. Keep it up for the last month, best of luck for the Feb exams!

Hi @tmcd123 - no, the MPS varies by exams, but has never been 68-70% historically. We should have some updates next week of Dec20's L1 MPS estimates as well, stay tuned :)Best of luck for your exams too!
