- finished all questions 1. skipped one set 2. skipped two sets 3. …
Finished all.
0 - with about 10 minutes to spare. In the afternoon I was out of there by 3:30 (so I either did fantastic or totally bombed it).
0 - Finished it all… With 15 minutes to spare… But god, I made dumb mistakes… I ABSOLUTELY KNOW the formula for standard deviation, but one reason or another, on exam day, my brain froze… I was just too much concentrated on finishing the exam instead of answering questions in a good way… I seriously think that they should have made it a bit shorter… That does not represent a real-life situation at all, unless you plan to become a trader… My 0.02$CAD…
1-2
0.5 missed a part question for 8 points. but there are also a number of questions in AM that I totally guessed and BSed. I liked PM better since it was not time constrained. even I had no clue for some question at the beginning, at least I had the time to really think it through and make an educated guess.
- I missed one part with 6 points. But so rush to write down the answer for the last few questions. I was like to write down the answer according to what I feel about question after I took a first look. Have like 1/3 got totally no clues. (like 2 loss aversion - got confuse, liability noise, etc) PM is ok, but it is definitely tricky than I expected. (like the binary credit option) I think this is the worst CFA exam I had even done.
0 - finished AM portion with 7-8 minutes to spare. Was running about 6-7 minutes behind by the end of the 2nd question (which were 60 points combined) - and kept on that pace until the 6-7th question where I think they asked a 8-14 point question and I caught some wind. Afternoon session - I can never spend 3 minutes per question - I finished with more than 60 minutes to spare - so I went back and changed some answers.
- Shouldn’t have gone numerically…was rushing through the last 3 questions at the 30 minute mark.
- pretty tough for time management but finished it with 5 minutes to spare to check some answers… Afternoon is cool with 1 hour to spare
Finished, but going like a madman the last hour…burned way too much time on fixed income stuff.
finished but yeah i wasted some time and had to rush at the end. I skipped the “how much should you “sell” from each account?” questions until the end and basically just chicken scratched a bunch of garbage Hopefully i come out on top!
- I kept Question-1 for the very end, and then had only 20 minutes left, so attempted part A B and C…but didnt get a return calc in time. Hope it doesnt come to bite me. All other 8 question, I did well, I think. Afternoon finished in time and could check a few Q back and correct.

1 but there were a few iffy ones where i was doubting
5 i had total failure in time management. i spent 2 hours to do the first 4 questions, until it was announced 1 hour left. then totally freaking out.
technically i left none blank since I wrote something for every single section… but realistically my answer for two of the sections was so pathetically awful that you could probably count it as being blank…you know its a hard question when you dont even know what to write to get partial credit…
0 - finished all - but only had about 5 minutes to spare. For the PM - left at 4:00 overall - it was fair but hard - hit a brain freeze early in the afternoon (vignette 3) but the rest of them went easier
0, but a few sub questions I skipped and didn’t have time to come back to (one guessed answer on bond X,Y,Z, but no explanation). 2010 morning certainly more time consuming than 2009 under test conditions.
