The return calculation if answered incorrectly would cause problems in subsequent questions when you have to select portfolios. I find it not fair.

last year i had a real problem with these qs like bannisja...last 3 questions i had like 20 minutes...and thats impossible to do cause they need concentration and focus to really answer the point....dont know this year,maybe do the ips ind and inst and then go to the last question and start from back...

but one thing am sure of...if i see the slightest difficulty in a sub question and cannot recall the material from the book am leaving it blank,cause from my experience you just cannot write stuff and get the points or even partial credit,they really really focus on keywords and phrases - or so i think...any long explanation is not good enough as last year i really did explain the @#$%& derivatives (butterfly and stuff) very well and it was one of my strong areas and i got <50....so dissapointing

honestly, if you miss the return calc, miss it and move on. time is an issue in the AM. do not get hung up or come back to it. you'll get a general idea of the IPS. if you miss it, seriously... turn the page.

It is almost impossible for me to have 100% correct calculation anytime. Moreover, it is very time-consuming. with much time spent but no confidence I will get correct calculation, I wonder if I shall do it on the exam.

If you write down your 'process' in a clear way and do not get the exact right answer you will still get a bulk of the points....at least that is what Stalla is telling candidates
