Practice exams: To panic, or not to panic, that is the question...
Greetings,
Practice exam (%) scores have been as follows (Schweser, each score represents a 120 question set):
65, 63, 67, 61, 68
Scores by section are volatile. For example, got 0 on derivatives in one practice, then 83 the next exam. I feel somewhat optimistic on my chances of passing. If I can get the next few practice sets up in the 70-80's I'll feel much better. Time has not been an issue at all on exams, if anything I need to slow down.
From anyone who has been here before, these scores pretty typical? Or do I really need to put the pedal to the metal?
Thanks,
John

Time between the exams for additional prep has been limited, but my schedule for the remaining days until the exam will allow for more review. Scores should reflect the additional review and practice.
Googs, let's push through and pass this thing.

I don't think there's reason to panic for you. 65+ is reasonably good.
In my opinion the Schweser practice exams are definitely more tough than the actual exam. The degree of toughness may vary from person to person though. That being said, don't for a second underestimate the actual exam.
