First time poster and CFA candidate, so please be gentle!
I’ve just finished my first round of studies, and did a test practice exam, and bombed it. I feel like my first round almost didn’t have any effect on my ability to score in a practice exam – everything seems kind of familiar, but I’m nowhere near familiar enough to actually know what’s going on or figure out an answer.
Does everyone feel like this at the start? Should I review everything again before doing another practice exam?
Help!

I scored 40+% on my first practice exam, and went on to pass, so go figure 🙂
It’s normal to have a bad first test score. Assuming you’re a Dec candidate you have 4 weeks to bring this up. I found these posts helpful.
