@mattunderwood, wow congrats on the big scores! Thanks for the encouragement. I got a 66 in the morning and 61 in the afternoon. Mental fatigue is definitely something that affected me as well. It was nice to see I did outperform the overall average (is it sad that I find this funny to say? lol), but I was hoping to score in the 70s ideally between the 80s and 90s.

The big areas I need to improve and review are definitely ethics, FRA and fixed income. I was encouraged by my score in quant though.

Good luck in a week and a half, although it seems like you may not need it 🙂

I didn’t take those. But I’m planning on taking the practice exam offered by the CFA institute, I’ll let you know how I do on that.

Technology, then, would always have a larger impact on potential growth to GDP than either labor or capital alone? I guess that concept is what threw me off, that and all the percentages being thrown around, haha.

I took a full length Schweser mock exam 63%, and a full length mock from BSAS (Boston Security Analysts Society) 65%

Schweser put on a mock exam and provided us with a booklet for the morning and afternoon sessions to simulate what the real exam would be like. They even required us to bring our passport and bring exam tickets that they generated for us. I found out about it through this site:

The BSAS mock exam was a similar style. I hope that helps!

I meant this one as the mock exam from CFAI – http://www.cfainstitute.org/mycfa/candidate/Resources/studyaids/practice/Documents/level_I_mock_exam_morning_2013.pdf and the afternoon version as well.

@DollarsToDonuts

Good to know on the Q-Bank. How much time did you devote to those questions?

I’m a Level 1 candidate sitting for the June 1st exam for the first time. I’ve been studying since November. *fingers crossed* that this works out.

That was helpful @rsparks thank you! That makes sense, as with future projects you would want to use targets if you have them available.

Fair enough. Thanks for explaining @MattJuniper and @DollarsToDonuts!
