why do you think you failed? is this your first time you wrote it? how much did u get in the mocks?
I started my preparation too late. I essentially tried to learn the whole course in three and a half weeks but I ran out of time. I’ve been a member on this board for a while and did a little work in the past, but it was only in the month running up to the exam that I really started. I crammed everything in apart from Equity, Derivatives, Alternative Investments, Portfolio Management… so there’s no way I could have passed. A lot of that material however I have done before and knew a fair deal of answers on the exam (I think) but of course it’s still highly unlikely.
I just managed to get over 70% on the sections I crammed in on the mock (FRA, Ethics, Economics, Fixed Income, Quants, Corporate Finance). I didn’t test myself on the stuff I ran out of time for.
Yes it was my first attempt.
