I’ve been reading these over and over… but doesn’t seem to enter my head… these 3 Study Sessions are bringing my scores down drastically… I am sinking 
finfan, just do the basics, forget the difficult questions. i am sure they are going to be 70% basics question on exam.

If I score less than 50 on Asset Valuation section, will I have a chance to pass considering my scores in other 5 areas are >70 or 50-70… If yes, how less than 50 is ok… my scores on this section are pathetic…
FI + Derivates = 20% of the exam. so combined they are just as important as FSA. 20% of exam = 48 questions. I’d say if you fail this, don’t go below 50 to be safe.
Correction: FI + Deriv. = 17% Add Alt. Inv. and you get 20%
