   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！

    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?

    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

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。

这个考试不是考TOEFL和雅思，不需要漂亮的句子。我没考过这两个语言考试，但很多年前我考过德语的类似的考试，我的德语老师（德国人）说，用简单的词汇表达出意思，没有人可以扣你的分。

短语就够了，老美看得懂就行。组织句子还要考虑漂亮不漂亮，如果不是英语精通，我们无需这个噱头。田忌赛马不看马鬃捋得好不好。

重要的是key point, 观点写得多出错的可能性就多，（secret sauce 上说）错了一定会扣分，对两次也只能给这个小题的所有分。写得越多，给其他题的时间越少。这就是没有效率的浪费。不要看到一题顺利浪费不必要的时间，后面可能有不顺的题需要更多的时间。

还有一个essay检验分享。我第一次考的时候没看到有些题预留了地方的。结果回答的结构一塌糊涂。比如说
1.a, 1.b, 1.c(涂掉）， 1.c（答卷的格式）。

看完题目后10秒看一下答题纸的结构。每道题 1.a (1.a.I, 1.a.II, 1.a.III...), 1.b, ..., 2.a, ..., 9.a ....
虽然说是essay, 反用很多年前高中的话叫“神散而形（式）不散”。
