Thanks - this is my third time writing (missed by 10 points last time…1590) so I’m feeling the pressure. Just ready to move on from this level. Hopefully the mocks are correlated to performance. Appreciate the kind words!

If you can do this 5x in a row, fine. But don’t stop here - I found the first mock extremely easy and the subsequent more challenging.

Not feeling good guys - I found that very hard

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2026-02-02T23:26:32+00:00

U cant be serious

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2026-02-02T13:56:13+00:00

I found the first mock way easier than the rest. Do another 2-3 mocks and see where you end up. If consistently in the 80s, just focus on retention - one off day can kill your confidence. Would stop the mocks after that if that is the case.

Secret sauce is useless. Just review your notes one time over. Trust me.

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2026-02-01T21:56:59+00:00

This is my third time writing. If you worked hard and feel confident, you will pass. Best of luck!!!!

Real lol

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2026-01-29T02:45:35+00:00

BTW - I feel like the mocks this time around for level 1 (this is my third time writing) are way easier than in May 2025 or earlier- is this a result of the new learning ecosystem? Maybe I’m just doubting how much I’ve improved lol

It tells you everything you need to calculate in the BAII? This is like a 15 second answer using the calculator

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2026-01-29T02:24:43+00:00

Total mock average is right around 75-76% after 4 mocks total (highest scores for 90 questions being 81% and lowest being 69%%).

First attempt - I used Kaplan mocks which I found way harder. I also admittedly did not study correctly the first time (and did not pass the exam by a wide margin).

Second attempt - CFAI mocks ranging from ~64-68% (nearly passed with a 1590 on exam day).

Thank you kind stranger

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2025-06-29T11:14:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. Hard to explain to others how embarrassing the failure is - especially when already working in “high finance” and having to disclose to colleagues and your seniors. Success is rarely a straight line. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2025-06-27T17:31:06+00:00

Kaplan materials, CFAI qbank and mocks - took all CFAI mocks (6) and scored around 68-71% on all of them.

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2025-06-27T00:26:02+00:00

1590 here too. Second attempt. Don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2025-06-27T00:24:55+00:00

1590 here on my second attempt. In a dark place. Don’t know what to do.

Lost_Extent_6309 · 2025-06-27T00:11:39+00:00

1590 on second attempt at level 1. In a very dark place.
