Are Kaplan CFA mocks harder than the actual test? Getting frustrated over my results here :( what's the best way to review during this last week?

Level 1 and Level 2, yes - mocks were way harder

Also, don't study the morning of the exam. The exam site will be full of nervous nellies cramming. Ignore them. Lunch time, get as far away from the test site as possible - don't surround yourself with people freaking out. Unless level 3, then cram the fuck out of GIPS at lunch (always comes in the afternoon session).

They get progressively more difficult as you go from Schweser mock 1 to 6 - I thought the actual exam was slightly easier than mock 1

Way to review is to do your last mock on like Wednesday, maybe Thursday morning. Go over key areas on Thursday and Friday, no mocks (gotta go in confident). Assume that you will not get good sleep on Friday night (nerves) so get really good sleep on Thursday night.

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
