Thanks for reading my post above. My answer to your question about how to improve the PM section is this. We need to know how to solve these quantitative problems the way that it is solved in CFA texts (or any review course texts that teaches the CFA method of solving the problems), and we need to be able to solve quiet a large repertoire of these. About 90 percent of the problems in the PM section are always written at a level that is comparable to the ones in the Readings. By that I mean the in text examples (and some examples are not always in the blue boxes in the sense that they are written into the paragraphs). The remaining 10 percent are harder than the ones that can be found anywhere in the texts, but if you nail the 90 percent I mentioned, you will have time to knock off some of the 10 percent questions that appear to come from left field. You can usually tell which ones are in 90 percent category.
So how do you get to be good at solving these problems? For some the answer is as creative as watching paint dry: repetition. For others it is using a question bank. Either way, you just got to get enough practice that you feel comfortable doing these problems. I am not a genius, so it takes me several times before I can internalize a concept.
Having said that, I am still mystified at my morning scores. I knew I bombed some sections, but to have bombed that many sections is really strange. I do wish I could have my exam booklet, because I believe that looking at my answers can be a pretty good learning tool (but of course, I do not see CFAI returning that to me). Go figure….I guess I’ll find out the preferred answers when they release the June 2011 AM section in spring 2012. |
