Exam Week

I have been taking mocks all week.  Took this week off from work to study for this exam.  I have been scoring anywhere between 60-65 in for the AM and 64-70 in the PM. 

For now, I am going over my mocks and reading the entire Ethics and GIPS.  Ethics and GIPS are ignored by many candidates but Ethics alone are 10% of the PM section. 

I am more confident about this exam than I was last year.  I will study hard tonight, tomorrow and Friday.  Good luck everyone!

Couple more weeks to go

Two weeks left.  I have been taking full mock exams once a week now and average around 65%.  AM section is still shady for me scoring anywhere from 60-70 and PM section is steady at around 65.  The biggest mistake I make in the AM section is that I do not read the question or story thoroughly and fail to write down what the question is asking. 

It takes me about 2 hours and 20 minutes to finish the morning exam and I just go ahead and correct it without taking the full 3 hours.  I am taking Schweser Vol 2 exam tomorrow and I will take all 3 hours of it.   I will read the stories particularly the IPS stories 2 or 3 times if I have time remaining and drill the story into my thick head. 

If I think about, the answers are right there in the story or in tables or in exhibits.  I just gotta focus and think what is the question asking? 

Once section I am having trouble is behavioral finance with so many similar definitions and biases.  Another section is R38 with swaps.  I will focus really hard tomorrow and will hit 70% tomorrow.  If I do get over 70% I will post about it tomorrow.
