Analyze_This

So your issue isn’t that obscure stuff comes up in the exam - its that the obscure stuff shouldn’t be in the cfa material in the first place.  I think there is some merit in that argument.  I don’t think the exam should just focus on the ‘core’ concepts.  Because then people who took shortcuts (eg, schweser to name one) would be unfairly rewarded and those that painstakingly covered all of the ‘candidate body of knowledge’ as defined by CFAI would be unfairly punished.
