Just kidding. I plan to write down key words on the test page and then select the best two options and write them down on the real thing with extra details.

I know, but I have a feeling that AM paper will be alien to us, unlike sitting the MC exam. I have spoken to quite a few L3 candidates last year, and one thing they did not experience was extra time. if you read the L3’ers previous posts on the AM exam - most were scrambling for more time and got bogged down with the first question. Hopefully for you - you will be leaving early from the exam hall!
i’ve always rushed my work; 4th grade mrs pond would tell me i couldn’t have the beanbag bc i was rushing my work - - totally unfair, i finished first and deserved the beanbag - what a wench
hold on im a little confused here so from what flamesfan wrote you can write down four answers for a two reponse questions and they will the look for the two correct answers (not taking off if you provide incorrect answers) and give full credit or are they looking for the first two responses you write down (and anything after that they don’t care about)?
No, I’m saying they’ll mark only the first two statements and ignore anything past this.
well what sure that your first two responses are great. And by they way I much prefer questionst that specifically say “and give one/two reasons why” rather then the “explain” and “discuss” ones. Seems CFAI does this alot while schweser always has discuss/explain.
You don’t have to write ‘War and Peace’ - just a few bullet points.
Initially I felt that some of my answers were a bit off or didn’t know exactly what to put in, but the more I take these exams the better I am getting, it’s more or less getting to the root and being able to regurgitate enough onto paper.
Am I to infer from the lack of replies to my post abov that I am the lone soul who is having trouble with CFAI’s lack of consistency on IPS return arithmetic?
