Best CFA® Mock Exam

Hello everyone,

I planning to take the CFA® Level I exam in December and want to take a few mock exams before that to get some practice. What mock exam providers would you recommend? I am considering Schweser but I'm a bit put off by the high price. I've also found 3Prep but I'm not sure about their quality.

For Level II I did a BPP Mock Exam, which I thought of all the mocks I took (ex-CFAI mocks) it was the most representative of the actual exam.

I didn't take an mock exams for Level I, but it is really about drilling questions, so I would think the Schweser mocks would be a decent option. They are so-so for Levels II and III in my opinion.

BPP I think that was it

Is Schweisser, regardless of the shitty exam, still considered a good prep guide?
