@ravivooda @vincentt are you finding this too? For the MC questions, they try to trick you 3 or 4 times in one question! It's a nightmare! :-S

@alta12 @vincentt Seeing the questions in book-2, sometimes it really felt like, are they really from the book :D 3rd one I felt is the real tough one of all the 3 in the second book. In the end I am doing terrible in derivatives, fixed income and alternative investments.

@alta12 i think they are pretty close though CFAI could be about 5% higher than schweser's.

  @ravivooda @vincentt I’ve just done Book 2, Exam 1. Really hard! Btw, I heard that Schweser used a bank for the AM institutional IPS question for live mock! @-)
  
  @vincentt if you are short on time, i say skip book 1 exam 3. It’s an outlier (easier than others).
  
  I’m still making stupid mistakes, forgetting stuff! Fixed income is still my nightmare! May have to go back to FI EOC tomorrow.

  @vincentt I haven’t been scoring my AM exams and I did the CFAI 2013, 2012 and 2011 AM as practice runs first up. I feel that Schweser AM is tougher for some reason…you?
