我感觉今年三级上午的题相对简单，没有什么太偏的地方，但是还是需要大家好好背los中的某些概念，否则有的东西即使看上去眼熟，但回答时也会束手无策。还有时间要好好把握，我一开始时间管理的不错，但当中有两道题花得时间稍微多了一些，就觉得后面时间明显紧了，只能答题点到位置，加快写字速度，索性后面三题都不难，全答完了，感觉还可以。
下午的考试，考到Var的计算和许多概念，这部分没好好看，把握不大。还有statistics中的time series.都是把很多个考点混在一起考的，综合性很强。总的来说，下午的时间比上午充分，题目看上去也不是很难，但是item choice基本都以考概念为主，需要概念很清楚，如果只是对los有所了解，但是了解不深，那就很可能选了心里也没什么把握。据说05年是以考计算为主，所以两年有很大差别。这说明aimr要求考生必须同时具备对考点的深刻认识，和娴熟的计算能力，要求还是比较高的。
复习真的很累，不过也增长了不少知识。希望一次通过，早早加入中国cfa协会。
