To add on to this, I hate the unnecessary inclusion of inane facts about the charterholders in these questions. Every single one is like "Cody Smith, CFA and avid windsurfer, was analyzing some financial ratios".

The ethics vignette's are horrible in general. I find myself having to make a flow chart of who everyone is. They all live in this world where people are always making TWO STATEMENTS in the middle of lunch about interest rate caplets or something.

Also really disliking pretty much all of quant that involves detecting and correcting regression issues.

I definitely hate all of quant. The stuff just doens't make sense like the rest of it. I also don't like the derivatives sections, too many formulas to remember.
