Schweser Level 1 Mock Exams

Question

Anybody finding the Schweser mock exam difficulties to be inconsistent? For vol 2, exam 1 I got a 68 on the morning session and an 81 on the afternoon session. I took them 2 hours apart.  I have no idea how confident to be based off of these mocks. Ive taken 4 of the Schwesers so far (both morning and afternoon) and my scores are ranging anywhere from the mid 60s to the low 80s.. The thing that is frustrating me is that I'm doing worse on some of the exams I've taken weeks later than previous mocks and there seems to be just random swings in my scores. Im taking the CFAI mock on Monday so hopefully that will give me a better idea of where I stand.

@BagItTagIt‌ @knight90‌ I am still stuck at a pretty consistent bad score but I think a lot of it is due to time management and the need for further revision. And I live like 2.5 hrs away from my exam centre. So since we have to be there 8ish, that means I will have to be up and travelling by 5 am. Fun!

I took that same exam yesterday, 9-12 AM session, 2-5 PM session, and scored 65% in the AM (did not finish, guessed questions 114-120) and 74% in the PM. The averages were closer than our splits (71% AM, 72% PM) but just to let you know - you're not the only one in that boat. We're doing OK - keep grinding, keep doing questions and revise them. And make sure to get adequate sleep in the last 2-3 nights (might not sleep well the night before, but you can make up for that by sleeping plenty on Wednesday and Thursday night).
