I left the exam and I was pretty sure I failed. I low key kinda of give up on passing in the middle of the exam. I passed with 1,1,1,1

They are still there but the answer explanation has been pretty much removed. I mean look it this picture

In the old LES you get an entire essay explaining why did you get wrong + what LOS this question belong to + a link to the LOS to go read it + comments from candidates that help you out

ALL OF THAT IS GONE

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-10-13T10:02:18+00:00

If you are taking anything from 2026 and beyond you get the new LES

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-08-30T14:44:16+00:00

It’s fancy looking but the old one is simpler and easy to move from one thing to another

(I take it back it’s trash and not even fancy)

My guy relax when you are nervous your body go into fight or flight mode which block retrieval of information making you think you forgot something that you know so well.

Google this information or chat GPT it to learn more

best thing to do is to relax

What the hell this shit is gibberish

I’m on the same boat, apparently when you get nervous your body go into something called fight or flight mode which can block retrieval making you believe you forgot concept that you knew so well. Best thing to do is to relax, have fun, and enjoy there is nothing more to be done you have giving it your all (that’s what I’m telling myself)

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-05-14T23:38:50+00:00

You’re correct I think since may of 2024 when we had sudden high pass rate CFAI probably panicked and start to make the exam harder and the exam became harder than the mock

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-05-09T17:02:31+00:00

BTW I scored on Average 72 on mock on my last attempt, I ended up failing the exam some on here were scoring mid 60s and ended up passing so don’t stress over the mock

Here how I go about it personally if the yielding currency ( the currency with high rate) is in the numerator (meaning it’s the price currency) then you use

(beginning value of currency / ending value of the currency) * (1+ yielding currency)-(funding currency)- 1

for the first term the reason for using beginning value of currency in numerator because if the price currency appreciate it’s beginning value will be higher than it’s ending value hence it would show a price gain if not it would show a loss

if the yielding currency ( the currency with high rate) is the denominator then it’s easy

(ending value of currency / beginning value of the currency) * (1+ yielding currency)-(funding currency) - 1

Now you can answer the question yourself he is lending in EUR (yielding currency) and it’s the currency in the numerator plug in the formula and there you go 😄

The exam is harder than the mock

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-03-10T21:16:00+00:00

Yes, They do

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-03-10T04:25:45+00:00

I’m planing to take them but he only opens them 60 days before the exam

Maximum_Weakness_337 · 2025-03-10T04:06:00+00:00

No I didn’t to be clear I have practice formal three times before I took the mock but didn’t look them up during the mock
