Topics You're Banking on Not Being On Exam completely, hypothesis, testing, banking, related

The things you're banking on not being on there, and if they are, you chalk one up for the bad guys. EDIT: For the record, I know many of these will be on there, but if I have to completely guess on like 30 questions, that's only 20 wrong.

For me:

Covariance of Joint Probability Function

Covariance of Portfolio with more than 1 risky asset

Most of hypothesis testing

Calculating Beta

CML Equation

Biases related to index weightings (just don't get the "downward bias" stuff)

Currency Swaps (I might be able to give it a go)

CMO and MBS stuff (always seem to get this question wrong)

Put-call parity

Other than those, I think I'm ok. What are yours?

Hopefully not back to back P/BV questions like the CFAi mock... i don't recall calcing a single one of those throughout the entire Stalla / Schweser books/mocks.

No kidding, right!? Those were ridiculous. Hadn't seen anything like that throughout.

Hypothesis Testing - It's all backwards logic to me

Put-Call Parity - I get it but I don't get it

Chi-Squared F-Test - Those are sure fire misses

Double Negatives in the Question
blah blah... is least likely to not... blah blah blah hopefully not too many confusing questions

country risk premium,

Project Beta (PB= AB {1+ (1-t) d/e} from one to another

min and max value for European, Americal put call

Ethics. I still don't understand why I can't trade on insider information! Gekko, you lied to me!

Did you use Schweser? I thought they explained the min/max for options very poorly.
