标题: Toughest Study Session [打印本页] 作者: irlfaan7 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34 标题: Toughest Study Session
Guys I was wondering those who passed in this june test ... the study material you encountered which study session you found to be the most tricky/toughest...
I read a post recently that *SS9 FRA was a killer* though I skimmed trhough it didnt seem so difficult may be because I had a bit of accounting and things like deffered taxes etc.....
I know specially in finance exams some topics seem easy but examiner can test you with different angles and thus confuse you... So I shall really appreciate if you can provide some of the experiance you had so far作者: MonkeyBusiness 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
You are right; a lot of people have said that SS9 was the hardest. I'm about 2/3 complete with that SS right now and I'm not finding it too difficult. I am taking my time with it though and I had a fair amount of accounting classes in school.
Stats is probably my weak area, so I'll say any SS with hypothesis testing a t-stats and z-stats, etc.作者: jim8z3 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
In terms of what is being tested, SS9 was the toughest. Confidence interval and hypothesis testing is easy when you write the exam because the more difficult things aren't asked.作者: manasib 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
It was easily FSA DTL/DTA made my head go round and round作者: Siddimaula 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
SS17 AND SS5. SS9 was fun actually作者: ftwcfa 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
SS9 was a killer for me.. The end of chapter CFAI questions for SS9 reminded me how poorly I understood it. Figured it out in the end though, and it's all behind me now.作者: LokiDog2 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
I dont remeber the SS number but...the second SS in Fixed Income securities was really tough for me作者: amqata 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
The general consensus is going to be SS9. I scanned through it for the June exam and thought that it didn't look too bad. I ended up spending double the amount of time that I had originally allocated for SS9. Accounting is certainly not my passion, I more or less had to chain myself to my desk to get through it.作者: sgupta0827 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
I heard taxes and leases is a real pain, plus alt investments作者: ramzes 时间: 2011-7-13 14:34
I would say SS9. However, the second SS in fixed-income is also quite 'fun'. Reading 62 from the other fixed-income SS is such a drag as well作者: Wasteoftime 时间: 2011-7-13 14:35
All this while I thought SS9 was the toughest until I wrote the exam. Ethics was a killer to me. I tend to "overthink" the questions. Spend too much time pondering the possible answers, resulted in doing areas I am good at faster. If ethics is your niche, I must congratulate you.
