Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but the qualitative questions are fuzzy to me since most of my time was spent on quantitative ones. Even though some of them were tricky I do recall them being easier than expected b/c -They weren't that "wordy". Reading previous exam threads I was...

@VWJETTY For Poisson I think choices were like, 7%,10%, 40%, 80% (rounded). I was thankful for that one they made choices spread out because I was not looking forward to using Taylor series expansion for e^(-lambda * t) to approximate w/o calculator. If I recall correctly, lambda = 2, t = 2...

I do not think you can. This is one of the main reasons I dislike these financial calculators (whereas it is possible using graphing calculators). You will have to go with plan B. There is also some setting where you can basically tell the financial calculator to honor the order of operations...

I felt it was very fair. It was easier than I expected it to be (far easier than the practice GARP exam in my opinion). There were computations, but far less involved. To give an example, the practice exam had a question on 2 step binomial tree, but on actual exam it was a 1 step question. Felt...

Unlucky. I didn’t get my exam thrown out, but believe it or not my calculator actually straight up stopped working after like question 7. Unfortunately no back up either. In retrospect low battery warning was wishful thinking.

Only took L1 today, but I think it’s hard to speculate. At best you will get a sense of people who choose to self report here felt if it was generally easier or harder than expected. Though just talking without knowing what I’m talking about, it sounds like you’re potentially near a cut off...

Additional minor points on next reading: Part 1: Quant Analysis Stock, Introduction to Econometrics, Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 Study Notes 1) Page 12, Interchange “Slope” and “intercept” 2) Page 19, second bullet point should read B_0 hat and B_1 hat 3) p. 43, bullet 2, the denominator should...

Very minor...but thought I should point out for posterity Part 1: Quant Analysis: Reading 1: Miller, Mathematics and Statistics, Chapters 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 Study Notes: (1) p.130 missing absolute value bar before "X" in Chebyshev's Inequality: (2) p. 132 redundant summation for calculating...
