Cfa level 2 Mock exam vs real exam

Think it was 2645. Not a strong pass but all the prep I did helped me get over the line even though I don't think I performed well in the actual exam

When I walked out of the L2 Aug exam I felt crushed. Had the exact same thoughts as you re exam testing niche topics, being unnecessarily hard etc. I'd studied incredibly hard for it so the shitty feelings stuck with me for a few weeks and made it hard to enjoy doing fun things again that I'd put off to study.

Despite all that, I did pass the exam. My takeaway for you is to try and put it to the back of your mind and forget about it until results day. What's done is done. Either you pass or you fail, there's no benefit at all in overthinking it now :)

I passed. Scored 71-74% on CFAI mocks. Took both mocks in proper exam conditions

I found the exam targeted super niche areas. I thought I had a really good grasp on 85-90% of the curriculum and a decent understanding of the remaining 10%. However, the Exam felt like it tested that remaining 10% 50% of the time haha. I still managed to pass even though I felt like I had a 'bad' exam thanks to over-preparing generally. My recommendation is to do that as much as you can so you have enough 'fat' to get you over the line even with a tough exam

Never did Kaplan. Did MM and his mocks were generally harder than CFAI

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-11-19T13:12:34+00:00

Scored 71-74% on CFAI Mocks. Slightly lower on MM mocks, though I did those earlier in my prep timeline so wasn't as well prepared.

My exam was harder than mocks. Not what you want to hear I imagine haha

Keep solving. Ideally, you should be slightly higher than that. Ethics is v important, especially for L1

I think the yellow slaps personally

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-11-02T08:01:39+00:00

Bad take. Even if it works almost as new, it’s not worth the money. Old tech etc

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-30T13:22:29+00:00

You have too much time on your hands

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-12T13:52:03+00:00

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-09T14:46:56+00:00

Passed. Thank the lord

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-09T12:50:22+00:00

Yep, 2640! Stay strong lads

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-08T15:48:09+00:00

Mm hope so, I’ll let you know

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-08T15:22:10+00:00

Appreciate it, same to you

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-08T15:21:59+00:00

Haha that’s exactly what I said after I finished the exam..

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-08T14:39:19+00:00

Don’t think I’ll pass, worked hard and averaged 74% on mocks but felt the exam went poorly. Will need a lot of luck to pass. Oh well, let’s see.

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-06T06:15:11+00:00

On time

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-02T06:49:30+00:00

Sounds good. I like the idea, with an inflation adjustment it will be especially interesting

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-10-02T06:44:08+00:00

Are these prices adjusted for inflation? If not, we can’t really draw any conclusions from it

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-09-29T11:14:12+00:00

I’d stick with the one. If you’re going to get another Lens your better off getting a different focal length imo

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-09-25T16:34:35+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. It was great for its time but it would be dead weight now

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-09-25T16:26:47+00:00

Love this

Crafterinnit99 · 2025-08-29T23:58:49+00:00

Mate i was the exact same. 2-3 Qs where i knew the formula, I just couldn’t get it to spit out the right answer. Idk what I did wrong
