其实我觉得没必要做真题，只做每年的notes自带的exam book的三套题和CFA的mock exam足以。essay过不过不是决定于做了多少真题，而是同过做1, 2套题体会出的答题方法。 简单地说就是：答题时如果有小点的话一定要标清楚， 不要写长句子，一定要用词或者词组来表达。 考官只会看keypoint。

    之前近些年的真题都做了好几遍. 但是essay还这么低. 看了本人贴出来的成绩, essay和选择题的分差距不像我这么大

    谢谢鼓励! 你答essay题是怎么答的呢? 比如就写几个短句, 还是较完整的话? 还是短语+一两句解释?

   我找到网上2011年版的，摘录在这。
The following are some general tips for Level I11 candidates on the essay exam:

• The published guideline answers on past essay exams are more complete and better written than actual exam answers that receive full credit.
• The published guideline answers may not reflect all alternative approaches to the question that received full or partial credit.
• Answers are graded only on content. They are not graded for language and style.
• Use shortphrases and bulletpoints to save time, but be sure your meaning is clear.
• Handwriting is rarely so poor that the answer cannot be graded.
• Points are awarded for direct answers to a question.
• No points are awarded for general knowledge that is not responsive to the question.
• Do not spend too much time writing an answer. This is particularly tempting when you know the topic well. Formulate a direct response to the command words, and use the amount of time allotted.
• You should expect to encounter questions that you will not be able to answer correctly. There is a great deal of material to master and exam questions are challenging. Standard setters and the Board of Governors (at all three levels) take account of exam difficulty in setting Minimum Passing Scores.

The following are coinmon reasons that graders give for poor candidate performance on the essay portioil of the Level 111:

• Not responsive to command word list (list, define, etc.).
• Answered a question they wish they had been asked instead of the question that was asked.
• No work shown on a calculation question and the answer is incorrect.
• Hedged on questions that asked for a recommendation and justification (e.g., recommeilded A, but justified B).
• Neglected to answer part of the question (especially if a several part question).
• Note that you can still answer part E, even if you do not know the answer to part D.
• Content area experts spent too much time on their area of expertise, leaving too little time for weak areas.
• Providing more items or responses than requested. If a question asks for three factors, only the first three that you list will be graded.
• Immediately after each subpart that requires a template answer, you will find a statement with the page number of the template. For example: "Answer Question 2-B in the Template provided on page 12."

Make sure you familiarize yourself with the essay exam question formats so that you don't overlook any part of a question. Use the templates to provide your answers in
an efficient manner.





一起努力！

我上次考得结果是Band2, 这次过了。希望你们不要被一次的低分打垮。

我觉得可能是没写到点子上，没有写出想要的答案。
建议是多做做历年真题，看看之前要答什么。不用把答案都写下来，字数不是问题，关键是找准点，这没法从书本上来，只能看历年真题。

我也是band 3，band  3  是不是意味着，不用再备考了，考的这么屎，再备下次也不过。 有木有，这次BOND3，下次 能过的？

point form, 别说废话。

计算一定要写formula，有过程，会用partial mark.

最最重要，认真读题。这个很难练，因为时间很紧。唯一的方法就是多做题，题型熟了自然就能看到细节。
