Sry if any misunderstanding… What I said is solely my own point of view. This is my first shoot and the feeling only comes from my own experience. Also, by saying randomly guessed, I mean totally no clue. I did make quiet a few educated guess. So I don’t think the exam is easy.
They don’t unfortunately, but you can work it out a bit with a few guesses. i only got 1 section > 70% so, no matter how bad the morning was, the afternoon certainly didn’t go as well as I thought it did.
Did no one else bomb the econ section?
I was shocked at how easy the Econ section was. I’m not saying I aced it, I’m guessing 4/6 maybe, which is good considering I barely understood/touched the subject. I only reviewed what I felt were the easy parts and memorised a few of the big ticket formulas and that seemed to be enough. I feel bad for people (i.e. bloodline) who completely blew off the section thinking it was going to be completely impossible. Those were easy points lying on the table.
IMO, the trump cards were FI, AI, and CF. Some people may throw Ethics in there as well, but it was well known that Ethics was going to be a biatch.
you found CF hard?
It was tricky, but fair.
Hey pal, I have been wondering where you are these days.
Those six points i miss in economics and the ones i miss in alternatives are the real bane of my life now.-Both points are relatively easy to pick for someone who knows what they are doing, apparently, i don’t. I hope someone else learns from me.
Painful to watch months of hard work go to waste for being incredibly foolish.,
Whoever used schweser for econ would have been suprised. The 2nd alternatives item set was much harder than the first.
Left feeling like i gave it a good go, but now can’t even seem to remember any questions beyond two or three total for the whole exam… and for some reason this makes me feel very uneasy/worried… Exact same thing happened in December for L1… Anyone else with similar experience?
Must… Stop… reading these
Serioulsy, I’m doing better than last year, maybe because I’m slightly more confidant, but I really should avoid these pages.
I should have done better,
-Ethics, well everyone’s in the same boat for this
-Quant, frustrating error in 1 question makes it diffucult to be 70+
-Econ, Thanks Scwheser nuff said, other wise okay - possible 70+
-FRA thought this went well, but I thought the same last year and was slaughtered - hopeful for 70+
-CF thought this was fine too - hopeful for 70+
-EQ Thought this went fine, but same as FRA last year - hopeful for 70+
-Alt found this challenging not confident for 70+ but possible
-FI was annoying, normally a strong area for me, but the focus of this years questions was not to my benefit arleady 90% to be under 70, but should still be over 50
- Derivs - Frustrated by “that” question particularly as a cerified FRM, but the rest was okay some where round 70 for this in between Alt and EQ for me
-PM totally understand why people found this challenging, but for me one of my better sections possibly my higest confidence for 70+
So in short if I’m on the high end of my assumptions for each area I destroyed the exam only FI below 70, and if not I’ll probably be scaring people on the plane as I leave for my holiday (take off 09:30 23rd July).
Maybe it would be better if my result arrive late like last year.
Last word - going through this again and again doesn’t help, at least not for me and if you’re like me find something else to do, anything else.
Hopefully I won’t see any of you before 23rd July, unless you’re in the CAIA forums
Good Luck all
I must’ve focused on the wrong stuff. I don’t remember what the econ questions were now, but I do remember thinking oh man, I hate this topic lol
Pretty sure I failed. I haven’t been on the forum much and was happily enjoying summer when my wife asked me a couple days ago when I found out. Then I snapped at her she said. I tried to explain that I’m purposely not thinking about it right now and am not optimistic so no need to bring it up…She hates this exam. Now that she brought it up I started stressing out again but I know I failed and any pass would be attributed to a lot of luck. The sliver of hope almost makes it worse.
It’s better to have no expectation after the exam.
I would never think to myself “i’m confident i passed” because i know i’ll fall hard on my face if i don’t.
Never bee too confident, but never worry too much.
It’s just another day, another exam, no biggie, no one’s gonna die.
Think about other tragedies are happening in this world… i sometimes have an evil thought “would i rather have cancer or fail this exam?”
… i prefer failing the exam.
Screw that. I’d rather have cancer and pass the exam.
So glad I’m not you!
You need a real life man.
Ohh man, this is a really sick statement, making me almost throw up
Be careful in what you say! Life is a gift you should appreciate
Damn, calm down you life-loving maniacs. I guess you all missed the sarcasm in my tone. I’ll have to continue to remind myself that I’m posting on a god damn finance forum, not Redditt.
Good, I hope it was a bloody stupid joke
Hahaha
