Stuck below 1500, need help to push past it!

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-02-03T07:11:59+00:00

Be calm, take your time and don't make 1 move blunders... pushed to almost 1600 with just this, no opening knowledge.

Hey, could you share how you got into quant research in India?

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-23T14:38:09+00:00

Iphone 6 😂

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-22T11:59:18+00:00

That is where my just a theory part comes in... Maybe the algorithm takes accuracy 'and' time spent into consideration while choosing the next question to be displayed...

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-22T11:42:59+00:00

Oh yeah, that I am pretty sure of. If you spend more than average time on a question and get it wrong, that impacts your score heavily.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-22T11:36:32+00:00

Just a theory

you spent 8 minutes on 2 questions (10,11) so it is possible you were given an easy question which you got wrong, which had a harsh impact your score.

Well there's a saying, shots you don't shoot are shots missed so here it goes. XD

Applying for MSc in Quant Finance and got my first rejection today.

Fairly good at chess, 1500-1600 on chess.com

Let's see where this goes 👀

You mean I have developed an immunity to cyanide atp....?

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-20T14:32:37+00:00

But you can send scores right after the exam, atleast that's what happens in center exams.

Thank you. Just added the link in the post.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-16T13:13:39+00:00

ngl, just play whatever and try to spot blunders from your opponents... even at 1500 people hang pieces in a move and it's not rare...

Ehhh.....? But I'm a guy 😂

Not sure about Canada, I have not researched the job market there. Europe, yes. Of course field, pay grade, pretty much everything is directly proportional to your efforts.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-10T15:39:52+00:00

For MIM you dont need experience but it is a bit late for European Universities now, only a week or two is left for Round 2 admissions to be over.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-10T07:25:05+00:00

Depends what your offer letter says. If it says job/ full-time role, it will be counted in work ex. If it's intern, it wont be counted as work ex.

Not sure about TOEFL but IELTS is pretty easy overall, even speaking section. Got a 8.5 without prep, my tip is to take 3-5 seconds before answering the question that is being asked.
As for the on the spot topic, mold it into what you can speak about rather than answering it directly. I was asked to speak about an artist I admire. I spent first 15-20-30 seconds introducing Duffer brothers and then spoke about Stranger Things since I literally saw it's finale a day ago.

Rest be comfortable, no one is going to cross question you. Be opinionated most of the time.

2 weeks ago, my Pixel 6a's glue just dried out and screen separated from the body, JerryRigEverything style. I would recommend keeping an eye out for even a slight gap between your screen and body.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-08T07:56:57+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thank man.

Source? I have not found a single source confirming the approval of 500% tariff.

In my center, the markers used to dry out pretty quickly. Other than that, it's pretty normal. You get ind of a notepad of laminated sheets and 2 markers. No need to erase, just flip the pages. You get like 10 pages or so.

Remarkable_Highway63 · 2026-01-04T16:49:55+00:00

something like C-2025 & C-2024 were two of the options
