CFAI style breakdown of a mock exam
I am a retaker. Here are my actual results from last year along with my mock exam score this year. Last year I failed in band 7, I’m hoping that a score sheet like this would be a pass, especially with a few more weeks to review:
———–Last Year——– ——–This Year’s Mock———–
Topic 70% 70%
Alt Investments * - - * - -
Corp Finance - * - - - *
Derivatives - - * - - *
Economics - - * - - *
Equity Inv - - * - - *
Ethics - * - - * -
FSA * - - - - *
Fixed Income - * - - - *
Port Mgmt * - - - * -
Quant * - - - * -
edit: The formatting is all effed up.
Basically, I went from 4 sections less than 50% to just one. I had the same number of sections 50-70% (hopefully this time at the high end of the range and not the low end like last year probably was) and from 3 sections in the 70+% range to 6 sections in that range.
The funny thing is that I got in the +70% range on derivatives last year on the exam all through guessing. I got it again on the mock but I still don’t really feel like I understand derivatives. They ask me some different questions and that thing could drop like a rock. |
