+1 on the essay grading being a total mystery. I think the problem is that you have graders looking at literally thousands of essays at a clip and they are basically scanning for key words and trying to make a judgment as quickly as possible.

+1 on the morning behavioral finance questions being super ambiguous and could have been answered about 6 different ways (and all valid, per the curriculum)

I have failed this exam twice, low score bands, both driven by bad morning performance, and I am totally mystified about what these "essay responses" are supposed to achieve.

Another thing to remember...the entire curve of grading for this test is between 50-75% raw score on the exam. so it is *very tight* on the borderline (maybe even 1 question would make the difference). It sucks but that is the nature of the beast.

congrats to the passers - hope you all are taking some time to celebrate!
