Just another band 10 complainer management, another, equity

hinsafdar

>70% corp fin, deriv, Econ, FRA, and portfolio management
51%-70% alt inv, equity, quant,
<50% ethics, fixed income
I just came here to complain and feel better about myself. I must have really bombed ethics to not pass I guess. Do you think they won’t pass an individual if ethics is completely bombed? I’m ready to take this test down next year though!

In a similar state of mind… band 10…
>70% - FRA, Equity and Eco
50-70% - CF, Deri, Ethics, PM
<50% - AI, FI, QM…
Need some motivation for next year!! Are you guys planning to give it another shot?

Is it possible to jump from band 9 last year to band 2 this year? I don’t understand-but suspect something somewhere went wrong somewhere!!! Especially after feeling pretty confident after the exams….hell no!!!

Have you ever heard of someone appealing and getting a pass?

Band10complainer,

I have passed the exam with  <=50 in ethics, quant, deri and corp-fin, although I have 70+ in the rest. So i don’t think bad performance in one/more sections matters as long as u manage to get the overall above the MPS.

I passed with <50 in ethics but i had the heavyweights in >70 like Equity, Corp, Derivatives and most likely a high 50-70 (so 15-16/24) in FRA

I think you would have passed if you got 51-70 in ethics.  It is hard to pass with <50 in ethics, it is possible but you have to do GREAT in everything else.  If you look at scores posted there were some who passed with very poor ethics but they did very well in other areas.  If you had equity >70 you may have passed even with your ethics score.  Feel you, that sucks, I recommend qbank for ethics and get mp3 on soft dollar and ros and listen to them over and over.

I thought I dominated equity to be honest and that was probably my most surprising. I thought that and FRA were my strengths but who knows.
