AM - manageable, PM - madness. Agreed?

I believe I also got 78 and 27.

0, 150 for that one…those capital/current account questions threw me for a loop…off all the complex bs i studied, they broke my ballz w/ a question like that.

i got 78, 27 and defensive - was it in same vignette? I cut my options to cyclical and defensive, but in the vignette, it said that the company does better when other industries doing badly (at least thats what i think i read!), so I didnt choose cyclical as cyclical is meant to go up and down with the market

i thought it said they were exposed to higher oil etc. and did poorly in a recession so i said cyclical.

True that it did poorly but overall it did not do as bad as the economy so don’t think it was cyclical. Also thinking of the bigger picture (which is what they tend to focus on a lot) scrap metal industry is definitely not cyclical.

78 0 is what i got and for equity cyclical

I just can’t believe of all the stuff we had to study for Quant and Econ, they ask those basic questions. That really threw me for a loop. I don’t think I did good in those. I hope I don’t fail because of that.

Drexi i think you are right about the gain calculation. I got 105 and I knew it had to be lower than that.

I got 125 too on this one. I think they clearly asked for N-Firm Conentration ratio. Well lets hope for the best :slight_smile:

afternnoon i did well morning was bad for me contrary to everyone else yeah the M&A CF shit was tough, but i studied that shit deep and hard and got it done 1 time 1luv plus the fact that i am an M&A advisor helped

In the afternoon what hurt me was Ethics, Econ, PM, RI Model and some derivatives. In the morning I didnt have any standout hurters.
