Exam Preparations

Over the past two days I did the mock exam. I scored 58% for the first half and 63% for the second half. FSA was my weakest point which it has been throughout my revision. I will probably focus on revising this tonight. Ethics was also very tricky in the first section. I only got 2/6 which was disappointing.

Overall I think the mock exam will be quite representative of tomorrow’s exam. If you passed well, you are in a very strong position to replicate that result tomorrow. If you scored under 70% like me, do not despair! You would have learnt from the mistakes you made, and reiterated your strong areas. You will more than likely get higher mark tomorrow rather than a lower mark. And the pass mark is likely to be lower than 70%. We have a good chance to pass!

So tomorrow, four months (or more depending on when you started) of hard study and devotion to improving your financial knowledge will be put to the test. If you are ever in doubt between two answers, go with the first answer you thought was correct. If you want to change your answer, prove to yourself without a doubt that you are changing it to the correct answer.

I wish you all the best for tomorrow. Take it easy tonight and try to get a good night’s sleep. I posted this before I sat level 1 in December. It has some links that were good to read before the exam. If you have some time, take a look.

GOOD LUCK!
