If I were guessing, I’d say the top 5 are (in no particular order):

  • Portfolio Management
  • Ethics
  • GIPS
  • Fixed Income
  • the other three asset classes.

I thought Fixed Income was pretty difficult – mainly because it was more vague and conceptual compared to Level II.

thanks everyone!
