Overall, I'm not sure how the exam went 
I felt I answered about 45 questions confidently, then the rest I could mostly eliminate to between 1 and 2 choices. The questions were exceptionally wordy and long-winded so it was hard to get through everything - the annoying thing is a lot of the back story was not relevant, it just took up time.

The questions were exceptionally wordy and long-winded so it was hard to get through everything - the annoying thing is a lot of the back story was not relevant, it just took up time.That's the weird thing though - I didn't include it and I still got the wrong answer :/
RAROC = (Interest from loans - costs of loans - EL + EC*r)/EC was what I used? I feel dumb... I wonder if I accidentally mistyped the numbers in my calculator?
It's UL that you don't include, EL you do. But they were the same amount.
I think I answered revenue item droppng to 6%, was that a choice there?
I think I chose that one too.
Overall the exam was much more qualitative than I expected. Based on mocks I expected 50% at most for qualitative questions, but I think it was probably closer to 65-70%.
Unfortunately we don't know the minimum of answers to
It was the good one I hope
yes, it is
It was the good one I hope
Yeah I imagine it was hard for non-native speakers. Sometimes the text includes irrelevant information that's tedious to read
Yes, I got that answer as well. Current Revenue was 7%, which gave pre-tax RAROC of 4.5/30 = 15%, dropping revenue to 6% pushed numerator to 2.5%, which gave pre-tax RAROC as 2.5/30 = 8.33%. This was below their 11% minimum. All the other adjustments had pre-tax RAROC > 11%.
I put the same
I’d like to note the related topic with the questions below

- Basel 2007-decision
- Higher threshold- lower collateral/effectiveness of colateral
- Pt-pt-1=0.24-0.68pt-1 (a.0.24 is mean reversion rate, b. Long reversion is 0.68 c. Autocorrel 1 lag is 0.32 d. No indication ab mean reversion)????
- Irs (r change) = long long term bond fix rate, short bond short term floating

- Joint prob of neither bond A, bond B df given df of each bond
- Time to next df given hazard rate
- Double in CCP, Liquidation cost incr? (2.83)
Jeez how did you remember all that?

Missing part for our RAROC calc was in the introduction saying 2.25%, I suppose.

on question 2: UL-EL; 4*bonds notional minus 5%of portfolio.
on q54: it should be 0.32 autocorrelation 1 lag.

yes, and for your answers - I had the same
1. For the 75 bonds of 6mil, 4 defaults at 95% CVaR = 4*6mil-6*75*PD*LGD (can't remember the parameters)
2. Incremental VaR questions were IVaR = VaR with both portfolios - VaR of the single position
3. Basel 3 guidelines - this one I think was retail mortgages split by LTV. It wasn't the A-IRB answer as the text says that this has been taken away as an option for banks and corps which was part of the sentence.
4. SOFR question - I think the answers were weighted median for the one, the other one I think was comparing LIBOR as this was it was collateralised?
5. Ho-Lee lower 2nd node: think it was like 1.06%?
6. Credit rating from A to min BBB - I think this was 0.27%?
7. QQ plot: mass in the center and tails are different
8. AML and terrorism financing - don't open accounts for anonymous clients
9. Pt-P(t-1)=0.24-0.68P(t-1) - I picked autocorrelation = 0.32
10. Special % rate - I got 389, I picked special rate but I'm not sure???
11. RMU question - think this was monitoring and analysing and communicating
12. Joint PD = rho*sqrt(PDaPDb(1-PDa)(1-PDb))+PDaPDb
13. Conditional PD question was ((1-exp(-0.09*2)-(1-exp(-0.09))/exp(-0.09)
14. There was a question about VaR = IM and if you increase the notional from 50 to 100, what does it become? I had no idea here.

Ahh! I totally missed that :/ thank you. I freaked myself out and didn't read properly

Hello guys on an average how did you find the exams tough fair or easy and what is your guess-estimate of correct answers
14. I saw that question and saw 1.4 as a choice, which is the square root of 2, so I went with that one.
I picked that one too - hopefully it's right!
