CFA Level III Derivatives
#1

For SS 14-17 what’s best way to re study after screwing up old exam papers? Do them again even though you’ve seen it? Or blue boxes and e o c?

Also. Do you guys guys review the morning papers immediately after taking the exam?

kaplans mocks are interesting. Not quite the same as cfai but definitely wide cast net

anybody have difficult w Kaplan mock 1 afternoon session? I got a 66. I thought it was so hard

if you don’t understand the basics, redo the EOC.

redo the essay later to make sure you can work through the problem without issues.

Kaplan mocks focus on training you to pick out what’s needed. Also tests you on what they believe to be possibilities. David Herrington is pretty good i have confidence in his stuff.

I found mock 1 PM to be easy.

I think re-doing problems you screwed up on is a pretty effective tactic for repitition and ingraining the concept deeper. It worked for me at least. There are also old exams out since 1999 so you should have plenty of practice material around

there are relevant questions going back 10+ years but… you can tell that in 2010-2011… the format clearly changed and the exam became harder… ive seen some of the questions in the older exams and its just not something that would come up on current exam (in that format)…

things like “define ALM”… sure its a good way to review the definition but the current exam is not going to ask that
