If that case was given on AM exam it would be easily a 30min question. There, they want you to answer in roughly 18 minutes and you get no partial credit. Good practice but holy shit, if they are stupid enough to give a question like that on an exam in MC format im going to skip right through it. Waste of time.
all of this. what a frigging joke. because I did it online, I was forced to work through it (another issue with opting to do MC online CFAI exams - it’s 2017, you can’t find a testing platform that allows you to skip and come to a question???). this segment took me double the time and it was a race against the clock for next 2+ hours. still managed a 72 but i’m kind of furious they would even give us something so hideous.
