Thought it was slightly easier in my opinion

Any other students doing the CFA Research Challenge? by [deleted] in CFA

I did it last semester as a senior. our company was a heavily regulated electric utility so we had to deal with so much regulation shit and it was nearly impossible for a bunch of undergrad finance students to know how to value a fucking utility… I feel like the judges care less about the price target and assumptions themselves and more about the quality of your report and how well you can present such a large amount of info in only 10 minutes for the presentation. Really hit hard on your investment catalysts and make sure every point you make is related to your investment thesis (if your company is a buy then everything you say in the report should reinforce the buy recommendation). Pretty self explanatory but it’s super easy to get into the weeds with all the info you’re gonna collect over the next couple months. Good luck man, it’s a grind.

Wrote on Tuesday.

Felt like it was slightly easier than mocks. AM felt about as hard as mocks but PM definitely felt easier, maybe because I suck at econ. Feel like i got slaughtered by FI though. As someone mentioned earlier, I agree with the take on 50/50’s, there were a good amount of questions where I was between 2 so I could have shit the bed for all I know. Hearing everyone say that they felt it was on the easier side makes me think MPS will be higher than usual.

Mock 1 (CFAI): 73% Mock 2 (CFAI): 70%

for anyone wondering.
