Im worried about how open ended the essay questions are, as in im afraid of drawing a blank when they ask for names of stuff.
At least with multiple choice, you have a good shot at recognizing this things .With essays, I feel like you have to memorize well because there are no choices to look at.

Hence why level 3 is by far the hardest level…..

There are a few open-ended AM exam questions in the past that I noticed when practising with 07–09 old exams:
2008 Q7B – Recommend one other stress testing method, in addition to stylized scenarios, to effectively supplement VAR. Explain one advantage of this method.
2007 Q3 that asks us to list 2 psychological traps.
Although there have not been many such type of questions, I agree that we do have to memorize well if we run into one. Overall, open-ended questions only occupies a very small proportion of the essay paper.

Note-cards with fact nuggets are your friend here. I’ll probably have a stack about a foot high once I’ve finished my prep. Hopefully this helps me deal with these types of open-ended BS.
