CFA L1 - Using Mark Meldrum and scoring too high on Mocks?

Hey guys,

Looking for advice from others who have used Mark Meldrum for any level really. Taking L1 in February, so starting on January 6th my schedule was as so:

January 6th - Take AM mock

January 7th - Review AM mock

January 8th - Take PM mock

January 9th - Review PM mock

Then it was just rinse and repeat since then. My first few mocks I was averaging 50's-60's which was expected, but since then, I've scored 85% and above (3 half mocks). Sounds great, but an issue I'm having is I'm seeing a bunch of the same questions repeated on the mocks. Don't get me wrong, I'm able to now work through the problems and get to the right answer, but I still feel like my scores are definitely being inflated because of this issue.

Any of you go through the same problems? Should I switch to his quiz bank and try to generate new questions there instead of using his mock exam feature? Thank you!!

 

Take the CFAI mocks - you can buy Schweser mocks too if you want.

Also, I’d review the mock right after you take it.
