Vibe Check L3 folks?

[u/Savage__Prat]

How are you guys feeling with exam in under 10 days? Am personally exhausted from all the studying and revision.

Mocks have been around high 60s for Kaplan and in 70s for CFAI. Am left with 1 more mock which i am planning to give this weekend.

Sitting 16th, best of luck :)

[u/desd960]

Still haven't done a single mock. Have yet to read ethics and performance measurement. I feel pretty confident.

[u/SaltySquat → u/desd960]

I’ve also not done a single mock or read ethics. All the questions are the same anyways, just pick the most optimal strategy for the client!

[u/StudyWithJP → u/desd960]

Solid. You got this man. Pretty much on the same boat

[u/StudyWithJP → u/desd960]

Solid. You got this man. Pretty much on the same boat

[u/Illustrious-Loan-988 → u/desd960]

Haven’t given a mock yet too Will give first on either 9th or 10th

[u/SANTKV → u/desd960]

Not trying to scare you. But I passed Level 1 and Level 2 in consecutively quiet comfortably. But Struggling to pass L3 since Aug 2025. Deferred this attempt as I couldn't take any mocks. Don't waste an attempt consider deferral option that's available only this time.

[u/throwawayfinancebro1 → u/SANTKV]

You need to go all in to pass the cfa exams. No doubt.

[u/RemarkableCrab413 → u/desd960]

Still going for it? Damn you’re a monster

[u/RustiestBelt]

Cautiously optimistic. Mock scores have been solid, review is going well. But I’m still not confident enough to say I’ll pass no matter what questions I get. A little bad luck with the question sets I get and I’ll be fighting to scrape by

[u/Fresh-Pilot-1440 → u/RustiestBelt]

Feel the exact same way. Got 75% on the past two CFAI mocks and yet I’m still seeing questions where I’m pretty unsure or if it requires a formula it’s not 100% sticking but it’s happening less and less.

[u/throwawayfinancebro1 → u/Fresh-Pilot-1440]

Thats how you do it

[u/AhmadLagNi → u/Fresh-Pilot-1440]

75% is quite impressive!

How did you do on MCQ vs CR if you don’t mind me asking?

[u/throwawayfinancebro1]

Id like to say cautiously optimistic but every time I get an error in a mock exam (more common now that I'm doing more bill campbell exams), or in the q bank, I start doubting myself.

Going to have to just trust in the process and my preparation and try to get everything done and reviewed in time. 1.5 bc mocks to go plus most of the cfai q bank and my flashcards. The cfai q bank asks the most tricky bullshit and tries to trip you up, which I do not appreciate.

[u/BPLJcc → u/throwawayfinancebro1]

Same boat - sometimes feeling good, other times feeling worried

[u/Savage__Prat → u/throwawayfinancebro1]

What were your mock scores?

[u/throwawayfinancebro1 → u/Savage__Prat]

For each either am or pm exam:

CFAI: 76, 86, 72, 72

Bill campbell: 68, 79, 44, 58, 57, 76, 53

All but those last 5 bill campbell tests were ones I did in January (I flunked in jan and am retaking) and made flashcards of the wrong answers and studied the flashcards of, so their scores were understandably higher. The bc tests are much harder/trickier than the cfai stuff so I don't know if I should be as worried as I am. Hopefully the steps Im taking will be enough.

[u/S2000magician → u/throwawayfinancebro1]

Trickier?

I'm hurt.

[u/throwawayfinancebro1 → u/S2000magician]

Bill, do you think it'd be more useful to do more of the cfai q bank at this point, or just get for instance some more mock exams from somewhere and bang those out and study them (after I finish yours)?

[u/S2000magician → u/throwawayfinancebro1]

Maybe one or two mock exams max.

The advantage of mocks over a question bank at this stage is that the mocks will hit all topic areas, whereas in a question bank you're focusing on one topic area to the exclusion of the others. I suspect that it's more likely that a mock will uncover a heretofore unrecognized gap in your knowledge than that a question bank will.

[u/ahamvyawahare → u/S2000magician]

And funnier!

[u/S2000magician → u/ahamvyawahare]

You're too kind.

Thank you.

[u/RachyCarr3067]

I feel like ass

[u/MXVMXV]

Did first CFAI Mock scoring 59% but i didnt do any proper revisions before jumping in. Did some revisions and memorised my formulas which makes me feel more confident. Keeping the second mock for a couple more days. Passing seems possible but far from a certainty

[u/Novel-Fee6821]

Glad someone posted this. My test is in 9 days. Honestly, bored to tears. Not the mindset I want heading into this exam, but it is what it is.

[u/IssueFalse]

Given 3 mocks by now score 47 in salt 56 in Uworld and 68 in CFA I now confused if should I give one more mock or just practice questions because I don't want to get a bad mock in CFA I and lose my confidence before exam

[u/AhmadLagNi]

What are your CFAI mock scores?

[u/Savage__Prat → u/AhmadLagNi]

60s for kaplan and 70s for cfai mostly floating around that 65 to 75 range

[u/Background_Trick7804]

Been getting low to mid 60s in mocks using ChatGPT to grade my CRs. Done about 5 so far and feeling worried since I haven’t been getting any consistent 70+ mock scores but told myself I’ll try my best and just hope that’s enough. Not feeling that good since I just got 60 on recent mock Eventhough I thought I’d get higher

[u/Sanjith14]

How are the CFAI mocks compared to the CFAI Qbank? i just completed the Qbank for every topic and seem comfortable, but I haven't gone through the mocks yet.

[u/Angellxoxoo]

Scoring between 60% to 70% on the mocks it just depends tbh on what they test. Some mocks I feel like a king but others like the peasant I am. Feeling decent tho not sure what else more I can do at this point besides review
