Predictions for the exam balance, between, everyone, something, long

CFA4Techie

So what does everyone predict for the exam?

FRA could be between 18 questions (3 sections) and 30 questions ( 5 sections) I figure we will get hit with 1) pensions 2) long term assets 3) acquisitions and 4) something on balance sheet currencies + hign inflation environments.

Fra seems likely.

Assumptions on black scholes too.

I'm feeling an entire vignette based of Residual Income valuation.

It hasn't changed once in the last 5 years so I think we'll see:

4 FRA (Pension, Currency, Intercorp Invest, Adjustments/PPE/Inventory)
4 Equity (RI (wasn't on there last year), FCFF/FCFE, DDM/HModel/GGM, P/E/P/B ratios)
2 FI (OAS/Z spread questions, MBS/CDO/CMO/ABS, PAC/SMM/CPR, etc..)
2 Corp Fi (Corp Governance, Project Calcs, M&A)
2 Ethics (The usual)
2 Derivatives (Swap, Futures calc, BSM questions)
1 AI (ANYTHING BUT VENTURE CAPITAL PLEASE)
1 PM (Qualitative IPS questions, Black Litterman Assumptions)
1 Quant (Single/Multi Regression, 2 on Time Series)
1 Econ (Currencies, General Econ Theory)
