Need a good set of questions to study from

I wouldn’t worry too much about the Schweser Q-bank being “too easy” for Level 1 – as Fabian has mentioned, firstly you can filter by difficulty so avoid the “easy” questions.

Also, I wouldn’t say the Schweser questions are “easier” per se, more that they are slightly different in style. But they are still definitely useful for Level 1 (Level 2 not so much).

I didn’t realize the Q-bank questions could be filtered for difficulty until pretty late into my studying for L1 in December.  I did not pass–band 10 🙁

I think if you use Schweser Q-bank you have to use the filter for sure and avoid the easy questions.  For this go-around I’m using the Elan Q-bank and the questions are much more difficult but it’s basically a flat file downloaded into an online book app.  The answers are also not really robust.  So while the questions are tougher and (hopefully!) crystallizing my thinking much better, they are not easy to use at all compared to Schweser.

Honestly, I think Schweser should be fine for L1 if you’re using the tougher questions.  They are a limited set, however, so while it looks like there are a TON of questions in some of the sections once you weed out the easy ones there is not a lot left.

definitely add in the EOC questions.  They are closer to what to expect on the exam.

I am not sure if I am missing something, but how do you filter questions by difficulty in the Q-Bank? When I am in my Custom Quiz creation screen, I can only filter by used/unused questions in the LOS.

If I recall there is a set of check boxes when you are creating/generating the quizzes that you want from the bank.  You can create questions specific to sections of the material but also you should be able to select the level of difficulty.  Sorry, that’s the most that I remember from using it a few months ago.

Welcome! 

About your 70% of all testable material concern, I don’t think anyone will be able to know for sure that they know at least 70% of all material. The best you can do is to improve your practice scores beyond 70%. I was scoring about 80-85% right up to the exam (Schweser) and you’ve got time to do so!

Q bank can be easier, but I think they usually allow you to filter out the easy questions and only do hard ones. And as to your last question – I don’t think there are any other obvious sources apart from the EOC and Qbanks.

Hope that helps!
