Did you find your quant section score surprising? I recall there was one vignette with six questions and in the exam, I found it rather easy and straightforward. Quant items had been perhaps my strongest area in EOD and practice exams. To my surprise, this was the only section where I scored in the less than 50% range...
I'm not sure if the questions were particularly tricky or if it was just my loss of focus.作者: luckygiftvn 时间: 2011-8-2 12:18
That's what most people who took the exam said. they said it was easy and straightforward, i found it hard and full of tricks, scored >70 on this one.作者: transferpricing 时间: 2011-8-2 12:24
I found the section harder than my "usual" comfort zone, scored 50-70 on it which was expected
the dummy variable question really got me confused

The quant section was what I did not study at all. I did only the first part , regression and some t test stuff. I guess on all the 6 questions. I scored > 70. Seeing all my hardwork for 2 years , lady luck helped me get through this year.

quant was only section i got below 50 in also. I prepared for that section well and also have a maths degree so no idea what happened there.作者: canadiananalyst 时间: 2011-8-2 12:41
There was some tricky stuff cause this is not the one that was bothering me at the exam day. Founded it quite simple but failed strange...作者: Kapie 时间: 2011-8-2 12:46
I remember thinking: "this looks too easy, where the hell is/are the 'trick/s'". I got 51-70 so I guess I fell for two of them...作者: Colum 时间: 2011-8-2 12:52
Quant was my strongest section pre-exam. Thought I went 6/6 on the exam. Ended up getting <=50%. Only section of the ten below 70%.
There was something tricky about that item set.作者: anish 时间: 2011-8-2 13:03
failed Quant as well. but that was pretty much expected作者: therecruit 时间: 2011-8-2 13:09
Quant was not as straightforward as I thought it would be..but still easier than some other sections IMHO..>70作者: Andreas42 时间: 2011-8-2 13:15
I remembered it was harder than the practice exams I've taken and made a few guesses. Managed to score >70 though.作者: Viceroy 时间: 2011-8-2 13:21

i thought it was this way also and i got 50-70, so maybe i missed some of the tricks.作者: bbtomato 时间: 2011-8-2 13:26
in this particular section the 51-70% range means nailing 4 out if 6 questions.. which is pretty high considering the tricky prose.. I got that score in this section too, scored 6 sections over 70% and 4 in the 51-70% range, passed.作者: transferpricing 时间: 2011-8-2 13:32
> 70 and i confirmed that many tricks were in the vignette (std dev and dummy question par exemple). I personally I got 100% in quant question ;-).作者: KungFuPanda 时间: 2011-8-2 13:37
I too found quant score surprising. I thought it was easy and I will get at least get 5/6 and ended up at <=50% 作者: Zestt 时间: 2011-8-2 13:43
If you really read the quant books very closely, the quant wasn't hard at all...If you just did EOCs, then I think you would have been unprepared for it.作者: himanshumh 时间: 2011-8-2 13:49

I read the quant books and still got below 50 (only section I have got below 50 in both level 1 and 2). I think something in the questions threw some of us.
