标题: weak areas [打印本页] 作者: nixie24 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31 标题: weak areas
Anyone feel like sharing their weaknesses? I'm going back over mocks and so forth and trying to get better at the questions I missed, but there are a few questions where I'm basically shrugging my shoulders and saying, yeah, oh well, too late to really learn that. I never really learned technical analysis - just some broad basics - and I've got some holes in economics (curves! too many curves!), alternative investments and a few of the more arcane formulas here and there. Or does everyone else feel like they have a solid handle on everything?作者: Siddimaula 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31
Taxes and Hypothesis testing are the real beast for me. I think I am going to work on them coming days. You can include technical analysis too. I can guess how easy this topic of technical analysis will be for a person who is working as technical analyst. I mean it's all about knowing graphs and charts. I wish if they could share some easy notes so that we don't have to spend hours on topics like technical analysis.作者: soddy1979 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31
I would say Econ could be a very good scoring area and everyone is going to score on that. If you don't score on Econ, I feel you will be lagging behind as that is such a easy topic. That was my weakness too but it didn't require much effort to overcome that. I would say work on that, you still have four days to go.作者: orang3eph 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31
Some of the technicalities in the equities section on the "best bid" and "best ask" and determining the average price and such.
And pretty much the entire ethics section. I know the ethics readings by memory, back and forth, but still miss tons of questions on the mock exams.作者: Daniel1985 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31
Equities, Ethics!
I dont get the theory part right in equities very often.. concepts are fine.
And i'm just very very inconsistent with ethics that it looks like its just going to be a gamble in the exam.作者: btcapital 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31

That's not cool to say that !!! People are just different, with different background and brains. Econ is my weak area. Even if my scores there on mock are decent, I still guess a lot. On the other hand, I find hypothesis testing so easy, so basic that i don't even need to think to solve the questions.作者: studyn 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31

My comments were not to offend anyone for sure. If I did, I apologize! Even I don't have any background of economics. I am a full time programmer who thinks in 0 and 1 and there is no space for probability in my life. I have never studied economics in my whole life, and if at all I would have that will be somewhere in 8th or 9th standard I guess.I struggled a lot in economics too like you are struggling at this point of time. But, continuous revision gave me grasp of the topic, just pure hard work, no genius here. I mean there is no rocket science in economics, it's just that either you are not spending enough time or not interested at all in that topic. I have spoken to lot of people. Everyone finds economics easy and that the reason why I had to change my mind to put more efforts in economics as I don't want to leave any section on which people are going to score high. That is just a suggestion. I mean if you are genius and can score more 90% in other topics without silly mistakes which is highly unlikely, you don't have to worry about econ at all.作者: eagles_dare13 时间: 2011-7-13 16:31

LOL I am not used to it. Just learning -- It's new to me as well. If they have rules for pencils, I din know what will be the rules for residues after sharpening the pencil. Better safe than sorry..lol
