Can you please elaborate? Does that mean you thought that most of the PM questions were “easy” or that there were enough easy questions to get a passing score in the PM?
Again, as mentioned in another thread, there were so many obscure questions or ones that were tested in a way inconsistent with the curriculum examples. I wish I could make reference to specific examples, but obviously cannot.作者: thommo77 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
I personally felt PM easy relative to AM.. it was not that difficult even in absolute terms .. except for few vague questions in the end..作者: firat 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
I felt that the first half of the pm was easy ( easy as in like you know 70 % of the qs in an item set without guesses)作者: OmarAdnan 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
I honestly felt that AM was obscure and were tested in a way inconsistent with the curriculum examples.. I NEVER felt that I was short on time when doing all the past exams and mocks, but Saturday although I did finish, felt that I had to hurry up towards the end.. Also, some questions seemed off - as in I never expected it to be asked in such way or thought it wasn’t important enough to think about it in such detail until it was asked in the AM.
As for the PM, it was just as I expected it would be from all the mocks, and practice questions that I’ve done during the past few months. Yeah there were questions that were designed to trick you… And I’m not saying I got an AMAZING score, but it felt like a breeze especially after the AM.作者: DSquaredSlim 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
I also thought PM was easy compared to AM. Would be surprised if i scored under 80% for PM. AM is a different story altogether..作者: anshultongia 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
PM did have some obscure content and “just guess the answer” type questions, but compared to AM it was far easier. AM was just chock full of stuff hardly mentioned in the curriculum and missing most of the important and prominent content.作者: parott 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
Just finished with a few minutes to spare in the AM, although my answer to the last question was bad. Was quite a specific question that threw me. The other questions were ok, but I thought it was much tougher than past AM mocks作者: segalm 时间: 2013-8-9 09:33
I thought the PM was very straight forward.
I don’t know if I had different version since I took the exam in South Korea.
But one thing I noticed differently from taking level 2 or level 3 last year was that when I punched in the numbers in the calculator, I could find the exact same number in one of the choices.
In previous exams, sometimes I got the numbers which weren’t even matched to any of the choices.作者: SkipE99 时间: 2013-8-9 09:34
I could not complete my AM, missed out on 12 points or so.
I thought AM was tough.
PM was relatively easy, I do expect 80%
BTW any guesses on what MPS will be based on difficulty this year? asking cos If i can pass it will be borderline, as i missed 12 points in AM.作者: Muddahudda 时间: 2013-8-9 09:34
I think almost certainly had different exams globally, I sat it in London and found the AM pretty easy compared with the mocks, certainly not trivia heavy. But the PM was extremely vague with some very poorly worded questions and was tougher than any of the mocks i’ve done.
I’m predicting a worst case scenario of 65% for the PM but hoping that the AM saves me with > 70%.作者: hassan 时间: 2013-8-9 09:34
I would avoid mentioning specific topics that were tested , because that is clearly a violation , even when you don’t reveal details . There is an example in Ethics Reading addressing this .
Example 4 page 135 : Rossi ” by revealing specific portions of the CBOK covered on the exam etc, however , she did violate Standard VII(A) and the Candidate Pledge “作者: mkytz15 时间: 2013-8-9 09:34
I found PM tough and not close to what Mock provided for practice. It was more closer to Sample test ($40 paid tests).作者: bkballa 时间: 2013-8-9 09:35
I thought the PM was tougher for me simply because I couldn’t recall how to do certain calcs and the sections I’m weakest showed up. But a good portion of that section I feel good about just about 10+ or so that I’m not sure I ended up with the right answer after narrowing down or guessing.作者: d2rockstar 时间: 2013-8-9 09:35
I thought PM was very tough compared to the mocks I did, but felt it was much easier than AM. And although the PM was tough, I still think I was able to do pretty well on it. Who knows though, we’ll find out in a couple months.作者: Howd 时间: 2013-8-9 09:35
If there are different AM exams, why is there only one exam (questions & answers) released on the CFAI website? I beleive that there was only one exam for 2012, right?作者: mkytz15 时间: 2013-8-9 09:35
The PM was easy. Yes, there were tricks but those were expected and if you had done mocks you would have known to look for them.作者: jarobi04 时间: 2013-8-9 09:36
PM is easy relative to AM, but FULL of traps. I’m pretty sure many candidates (>50%) would miss some information that are critical for the correct answer. The information in previous paragarphs are frequently used to solve the question related to the target paragraph. By this, I mean, if you think that to answer question 6 you can only refer to the 6th paragraph, then you might have been tricked becasue several questions require you to use information in previous parargraphs.
If you know what I’m talking about, you see the tricks. Otherwise, you probably missed those.
