Computer Based Exam - Notes

CFA General
#1

Hi All, good luck.

I took Level 2 a long time ago, before this computer based format.

I’m used to writing out problems/solutions on scrap paper, and I know we can use scrap paper. But when we need to “Show calculations”, do they use our scrap paper or do we have to literally type out formulas on a computer? I hope not the latter

Thanks,
Sean

Your hope, alas, is futile.

Type the formulae with the numbers already in them; there’s no benefit to typing them with names or symbols first.

They really should be doing the Level III exams on tablet computers on which you can write on the screen with a stylus. Sigh.

Thanks. Do you mean if the formula CER = E(r) + .0005(lambda)(vol)

that we can just type only …CER = 12% + .0005(4)(14%)

and that is enough?
