Hi fellow crammers… Took the BSAS mock exam today and found it a little too easy (scored 80% avg across AM & PM). It was poorly worded and I even think they mucked up one or two of their questions (i.e. they got the effective tax rate formula wrong in their answers)… Frankly I’m rather disappointed given it was paid for. HOWEVER, for those that have taken this exam, is 80% still a reasonable effort or should I be still stressing about failing on d-day?? Cheers
The exam only represented a small portion of the information and had a ton of errors…
Yeah it had a TON of errors. The whole triangular arb secetion was wrong… I took this a few weeks ago and scored a 73 on both parts. I wouldn’t be worried too much about the real exam if you got an 80.
Yes the triangular arbitrage question left me wondering. Poor form on BSAS’s behalf!
I threw down a 77% on that exam with an 80% on the first half and a 73% on the second half. I thought it was too easy and knew that there would be errors going in since last year’s was similarly poorly put together. However, last year on their exam I got somewhere in the 50% range and on the real exam I ended up failing in band 7. So hopefully it’s at least somewhat indicative of how we’ll do on the actual exam if we’re doing well.
