CFA Practice Exam L1 - Which one? Elan Guides, Schweser, etc..?

CFA exam (Level 1) exam in less than a month. Hope everyone is ready.

I already have the Schweser practice exams (2012), not sure if this is sufficient?

Does anyone have any ideas what practice exam is the best? What about CFA mock as well, is it online or can you print off? Obviously this must be pretty good.

Cheers

Schweser is what most people I know have used for Level 1 and they've passed. I would say do that first. Depending on how you perform you may need to spend more time reviewing topics that could limit amount of time you have to spend on past exams.

 

The Schweser online mock for $100 is legit. I liked it because you could take the 2 sessions whenever you wanted (although you should try to simulate real test environment) and they have video explanations for all of the questions you answer incorrectly.
