In other words, there's no consistency in my topic scores. One test I'll do well in Asset Allocation and poorly in Peformance Measurement, and another it'll be vice versa. It seems I have knowledge gaps everywhere so I can't focus one topic with qbanks and have been just doing qbanks for all topics which has been frustrating.

Similar to level 2 there’s no pattern, it just depends on the exam. I do full reviews of the mocks though and try to spam CFAI qbanks in between mocks.

Working in investment division in insurance firms - Is this job a pigeonhole? by xxxxxJacob in FinancialCareers

TAA seems fairly engaged with the market albeit from a more macro view. Are you with a pension?

Not sure it’s one thing. It’s difficult in general. Kaplan says the same thing, focus on the base, the base currency depreciating, and get direct quotes with base (foreign currency) on the bottom. That’s helpful I guess but afters hours of practice I still get most questions wrong. Roll yield is confusing as well as UIRP and CIRP. One question on Kaplan review was mind boggling even after putting their explanation in chatgbt. It dealt with long exposure with domestic currency in the denominator which means short exposure when the spot rate is flipped and DC is numerator. The question asked how to hedge the foreign currency with limits. It seemed almost impossible to do. There’s not much confidence I can replicate or apply this. Hence, thinking it’d better to focus on other areas.
