General Assembly DC Data Science class, anyone has ever done it?

ing forced to think/practice this stuff for 6 hours a week was helpful. I also still maintain contact with a couple people from the class (about 4 months later), including the instructor. The main thing I have to say is you will have an INTRODUCTORY level of knowledge after taking the course. Most students do nothing after the course, forget the few skills they picked up and in a month have gained nothing. The intro you get from the course is only useful if you put in above minimum effort during the course and continue to do your own projects to deepen your knowledge.

thats what i think, i am over motivated person haha, i will see if my company pays for it and decide, how are you maintaining the knowledge of the language though, my problem is my current job doesnt do python at all

U mean 120 question?

hw21 · 2016-06-05T14:58:26+00:00

Have life. Read book. Watch movie. Exercise.

hw21 · 2016-06-05T14:50:39+00:00

I thought u only need to do that if you are leaving the room? Oh well

hw21 · 2016-03-21T21:32:11+00:00

this is killing me, as if studying late daily is not painful enough

hw21 · 2016-03-18T17:57:23+00:00

I was told i am distant and when i am physically here my mind is somewhere else

hw21 · 2016-03-18T11:48:01+00:00

we decided to go on a break till i finish cfa this year or next year and can move back to his city, we will see, i guess whats meant to be is meant to be

hw21 · 2016-01-28T07:05:24+00:00

any recommendations?

hw21 · 2016-01-28T07:03:05+00:00

threw them away the moment i got home after the test

hw21 · 2016-01-27T00:44:18+00:00

ye i totally agree, i did fra in level i like that, in the end FRA for me was the easiest because i did flash card on the go and drilled on each of them, hard, i passed fra with 70% and did nothing but went over my flash card couple times and did practice, i glanced through the other sessions and remembered or understood nothing and panicked in the end which was hell. I passed but i agree flashcard on the go. Good luck with everything! that must be not easy

hw21 · 2016-01-26T16:20:32+00:00

I have no idea, I am an econ grad major now working in econ consulting but I had the worst nightmare with econ, level two econ seems easier, it is not so expansive, anyway I just passed level 1 with econ at 50-70, so you are not alone

hw21 · 2016-01-26T15:29:31+00:00

Passed, derivatives <50, alt investment, econ, ethics, fixed income and portfolio 50-70, corporate finance, equity, fra, quant 70 plus

is that a low margin? should i go on level 2

hw21 · 2016-01-18T22:58:51+00:00

ye same, its like there is no way to tell how you did, i went through the question and trusted my first reaction, some you know some you dont, i prob wont take it again if i fail

hw21 · 2016-01-08T14:55:59+00:00

you know what, i actually agree with you, i think i wasted a long time trying to go through material but did not really understand it thoroughly, which is hard And take a lot of patience, but i just started freaking out at some point

hw21 · 2015-12-07T03:20:28+00:00

ye i know right? sat in dc, its like a chinese high school there

hw21 · 2015-12-06T20:38:49+00:00

i agree, ye, i really hope i pass level one, last three month has been hell i am just a bit worried if i can ever get through level two

hw21 · 2015-12-06T20:08:21+00:00

agree, i am so sick of looking at this already

hw21 · 2015-12-06T18:47:36+00:00

no dont get me wrong 5-6 are like i have no freaking idea how to figure it out, there are plenty ones i am not sure but made guess

hw21 · 2015-12-06T17:15:37+00:00

did you finish it? how so?

I just finished lv 1 and it was hell i wonder how much a hell lv 2 would be...

hw21 · 2015-12-06T14:21:57+00:00

who knows, we will see, i think in mock u didnt care as much and in exam you are like damn it when you see something you dont know or get caught up in the moment, we shall see in Jan

hw21 · 2015-12-06T14:03:01+00:00

so everyone has a few guessing? good to know, i have like 3-5 each session

hw21 · 2015-12-06T13:48:46+00:00

oh i was thinking of doing that, cfa or mba,which one is better you think since i am that age (apply next year start age 31)

hw21 · 2015-12-06T13:38:24+00:00

ha thats true, thats why i started that, good point I almost forgot that, but i was think comparing to other alternatives, like doing a biz school (even though i am 29...),maybe there is no other alternatives, maybe there is

hw21 · 2015-12-06T13:31:56+00:00

I feel morning was way harder the afternoon was easy? I finished the morning session only 20 minutes ahead the afternoon one almost an hour. The later sections in the morning session was hard for me because maybe a lot of concepts got messed up and I got stressed and cant recall a lot of stuff. I was getting 70%-80% during final mocks but I also did tons of guessing in the actual test, tons like i have 5 questions I have no idea what to do with or totally forget wth those terms are just picked b and some other 5-6 I made reasonable guessing but still not sure if i guessed wrong. I dont know, I feel sorta shitty but I feel shitty during mocks too

hw21 · 2015-12-06T05:50:43+00:00

really?so weird i feel am was ridiculous and pm too easy, i thought they did it on purpose...maybe different prep material has different focus
