I’ve seen a thread on here somewhere that said they skipped two full questions in AM and still passed.
I think however, it really depends which question. Some questions had fewer parts and less minutes which is probably indicative of the scoring. If you skipped a small question … probably no big deal. But if you skipped one of the big ones, that might be a problem.
I agree. I always found the 40/60/80 method to be a ridiculous estimator. I like your precision but I’d modify it as 25% for 3 or under, to include 0/6 as a possibility, and 91.67% for 5 and up. Then allow a confidence type of multiplier that should be adjusted for biases.
So I am the biggest jackass on the forum right now. I missed 3 full questions. Was very dissappointed with myself. How can you say you searched the forum but couldnt find anything as there is a person (zerobeta i guess) who missed 3 full questions but still passed and there are many on the forum who missed 2 full questions and still passed. For myself I dont have much hope because PM was hard for me as well. Unless I have scored very high on Ethics I dont think I can make it. For you, if believe you nailed PM then you still have high passing chance.
the problem should not be about skipping a few subsections or an entire question but IF you got full points on the ones you answered… For me I think I got 70% on the 85% that I answered in AM…
I’m a retaker and got a band 10 while leaving 3 questions blank. I think I pretty much nailed all but one of the questions I did answer though and had a solid PM. The exam is all about time management but I could see someone passing while leaving a good chunk of the am blank so long as they killed the majority of what they did answer in the am and dominated PM as well. Definitely a long shot but possible.
Hmm, I think there should be another post on those who had enough time to answer all AM questions and thought they had aced PM session but still failed last year …
I apologize as I am still in a daze from the exam but are we talking about Question set that people misssed (i.e. a whole section on Fixed Income, or Equity) or talking about missing one question within the case study?
Sorry for my cluelessness
Was it the last question in the AM Section by chance?
we are talking abt an entire question being missed (incl. all sub Qs)
yes, i skipped an entire AM question. so i missed 5% from the get go
Not sure if this’ll make you feel better, but, when I was doing the 2014 and 2014 AM papers under timed conditions, I skipped 2 whole questions in each paper, but still ended up comfortably with 54% (maybe 58% if I hadn’t been so strict on marking my own work). I suppose as long as you’ve aced at least four of the questions, and put s decent effort into the others, you should be good for the AM session
