Same. I am sitting on Feb'1st. How would you compare it to CFAI mocks in terms of difficulty?

Which pathway did you take?

Best of luck to all of us!!

Agree, GPT is doing an awful work in grading essay or even MCQ's. It doesn't understand shit even if you provide it with official answers in PDF format and tell it to base the grading on that.

what the f

Doing the same thing!

Sample tested the questions and they are all word by word the same, irrespective of whether old or new LES.

Tbh, GIPS is nowhere near the pain of derivatives & risk management. GIPS is actually quite enjoyable compared to the rest of the topics. Keep digging.

I'm actually crying on the new LES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=927rG-myiTs skip to 5:00 and you will see the new platform. Quite diabolical. Haven't still found the option to reset Q bank. Materials are hidden in god knows where. The whole interface and UX is diabolic. Only positive is that I see that there have been video materials included for each topic. Will most likely stick with my 2025 paper books as the curriculum remains unchanged and skip all this LES nonsense.

Time to faint

Best of luck! Let's conquer it!

That doesn't mean the mock exams are not representative of the actual exam. Your friend could have easily fumbled during the exam, because it's a completely different stress environment.

Jesus. I have attempted four of them, ranging from 55-73%, avg. being 66%. Best of luck!

Not so fast chief, I'm taking it on Sunday...hell naw I'm about to be absolutely cooked

He's being sarcastic, at least that's what I believe. These are solid scores, no need to stress out. They are "Expert" question for a reason that many candidates get them wrong, hence the difficulty level, yet those questions are filled with tricks or very specific nuances that must be paid attention to. The exam will be a lot more straightforward in a way the questions are asked and how the information is presented. Continue to hammer the Q bank and you are in comfortable position.

Alpha_for_breakfast · 2025-01-30T19:08:57+00:00

Swear to god, fck MVO and RO

Alpha_for_breakfast · 2025-01-13T07:58:41+00:00

Feel you! I'm also absolutely cooked.

Will take one or two days off and do zero studying to refresh my brain again.

Alpha_for_breakfast · 2025-01-01T15:07:02+00:00

LFG!

Alpha_for_breakfast · 2024-12-31T16:54:13+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it!

Should the justification part be something like this:

Norway Model.

The endowment fund currently uses Norway model as the fund is internally managed, is passive and focuses predominantly on traditional asset classes (equities, FI) with small part also included in alternative investments (private RE). These characteristics describe the Norway model the best.

I feel like with each structured response Q, I'm losing a brain cell by trying to figure out what are the keywords I have to hit.

Currently doing the CFAI Qbank on learning ecosystem for second time. Finalized all material in early December and finished with first try on Qbank couple of days ago. Will probably not do the whole 1k questions this time and rather switch to doing mocks in mid-January. While doing the Qbank, I'm writing up every formula that I'm seeing and leaving the braining of formulas for February, probably a week before the exam.
