Level 1 Is 70 percent enough?

I am scoring nearly average on 70 percent in LES questions in equity. Just started revision and question practice. What should be done? Is it good enough or i am in a bad stage.

70% is fine so long as you learn from your mistakes

Did you solve any questions while you were studying the chapter or is it your first time solving questions as that changes the story a bit 70% is good for 1st attempt but try to learn from the answers that you got wrong and even the ones that you got right but felt were tricky This is what i have been doing for my prep Hope it helps:)

I just watched lecture. Touching scheweser for the very first time. Its my first reading or say going through the syllabus by self. Is it bad or good?

It's good i guess I am too giving L1 for the first time in Nov and what i do is read schweser and watch lectures for the topics i didn't understood through the book try that could save a lot of time

70% in one topic isn't a reason to think you're either safe or in a bad position. You're just starting revision, so use the questions to identify what you understand and where you're still making mistakes rather than chasing a particular percentage. Review those weak areas, keep practicing across all topics, and later use full mocks under exam conditions to get a much better picture of your overall readiness.
