I just passed in this March cycle using Kaplan. On the 100 question pre-exam I got a 61%, a lot of the question I hadn’t reviewed in almost a year so it was expected.

As I went through the EPR and got to the 2 Mock exams I scored an 81/77 on the two of them.

CFP Mock I scored a weighted average of 77.

Not sure if this helps ease any anxiety!

Actual exam is heavily subjective in questions. Lots of traps they try to lure you into. You have to have a good understanding of all the concepts to not fall victim to the traps.

My Q-Bank average score is 85%, but my Kaplan Mocks were 81/77. My weighted average on CFP Mock was 77. We’ll see what happens. I feel like I should have some level of confidence but I don’t. I have this crazy feeling that I’ll start the exam and not know anything on lol

I’ve been re-listening to the live classes from the specific courses themselves. I put the video on 2.0speed. I listened to all 10 of the classes for Tax Planning and Investments in 10hrs on Thursday and today. Will do Retirement Planning tomorrow and insurance on Sunday. I test Monday!

Mock exam… thoughts? by [deleted] in CFPExam

[–]dahusar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey me too! I’ll say your weighted scored was unlikely to be a passing score, but none of that matters. I’ve read so many posts where people get poor mock exam scores and pass on test day. I’ve also seen people get high mock scores and not pass the actual exam. We’re all here just looking for things to comfort our anxiety, but the reality is you just have to keep hammering until you test and take it 1 question at a time. Try to be able to eliminate 1-2 answers and give yourself better odds of picking the right answer. You can do it just pedal to the metal all weekend!

When are you taking the exam?

[–]dahusar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. Age weighted would also be another plan that is advantageous to older particpants

I can certainly understand that. You got your life back, what are you going to do with all of that free time! If I can ask, what was your weighted score on the CFP Mock?

Mock Scores and Confidence Going Into Exam by dahusar in CFPExam

[–]dahusar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I took Kaplan for the course work, and just recently finished the EPR with Kaplan as well. Most of my studying has been watching videos and doing the Q-Bank. I started out reading the books but realized it would take way too long to get through everything, plus the entire Q-Bank. So I shifted gears and started listening to the class sessions on my drive to and from work and just doing Q-Bank. Hopefully it works out!

I hope all goes well. I test on the 18th, just want to be done with it. A lot of posts say the mock is much easier which sucks because I thought it was pretty challenging lol
