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?
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
