a) 430 or so... keeping track was more of a motivational factor for me... I set a goal at the beginning and thought if I reached it, I would have a decent shot at passing... don't see how anyone could say you waste time by keeping track... you write down start and end time and log in excel... may have wasted 10 minutes total from Dec - June.
b) 2nd week of December
c) Undergrad degree in Business/Finance... work for an asset mgmt firm in inst'l sales
d) I feel it will be closer than it should have been (missed a handful of "easy" points), but yes, I feel pretty good about my chances作者: kmf229 时间: 2011-7-13 13:15
