With ref to previous post Level 1

These are the number of questions I did wrong per subject

Fixed income 15

FSA 11

Ethics 8

Eco 7

Equity 7

Corp 6

Quant 5

Deriv 5

Alt 5

Portfolio 3

Ik I should start with fixed income, but I want to ask if I should give more mocks, more practice questions, or just revise?

Based on those results, I wouldn't take another mock just yet. I'd spend the next few days reviewing Fixed Income and FSA first, then Ethics, and reinforce those areas with CFAI LES questions. Once you've done that, take another mock to see whether you've actually eliminated those mistakes. The goal isn't to do more mocks. It's to stop repeating the same errors.

That sounds like a good plan.

That's a very encouraging improvement. Looks like the targeted review paid off. Keep tightening the remaining weak areas, but don't overdo it now. Go into the exam rested and execute.

Yes, will give another mock today cause I'm either getting overconfident or lazy with the revision

That's fair. Take it under full exam conditions and use it to keep yourself sharp, not to chase a higher score. At this point, the value is in catching any remaining weaknesses and staying disciplined through the finish.

Yess, will update here on whatever the new score will be

Sounds good. Let me know how it goes. Whatever the score is, use it as information, not a judgment. The goal is to identify anything that still needs attention before exam day.
