By the way, this is off-topic but, yes, that is the Mayor of my city that has made worldwide headlines for being videotaped smoking crack. I would just like to point out 3 things: 1) I wasn’t born and raised in Toronto, I moved here because I love my wife; 2) I didn’t vote for this guy, in fact I pretty much foresaw the walking disaster that this has become. I must admit, however, that smoking crack was not among the list of catastrophes that I predicted; 3) The vast, vast, overwhelming majority of Toronto residents, and Canadians generally, do not smoke crack.
That is all.

Hi Marc,
Just to follow up on your feedback. The Grinold-Kroner formula was correctly stated in the mock, happy to run through if needed. We have now corrected the reference of “her” to “his” when relating to Jason.
All the best.

Thanks Marc, that’s good to know. Reminds me that I should put up my review of FinQuiz prep materials!

Is he a crap mayor though?

@Zee,
He has been filmed smoking crack with crack dealers in a crackhouse.
This isn’t a case where one says, “yeah, but I kind of agree with his position on transportation.” Because even if said position wasn’t completely divorced from reality (which it is), there’s still the fact that, you know, he’s been filmed smoking crack with crack dealers in a crackhouse.
So, yeah, I’m gonna go with “he’s a crap mayor.”
…Actually, reading that back just now, I realize that I may have been unnecessarily harsh with you. Did you mean to write: “Is he a crack mayor though?” Because, if so, yes, he appears to be a crack mayor.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for raising this. I head up the Business School at Fitch 7city Learning. I will look into these typing errors personally and get these corrected.
Regarding your comments regarding our 97% recommendation rate, this is based on all our candidates who use us for CFA (over 3,000 globally), whether they pass or fail (hopefully the former!). This has now actually increased to 98% this year.
I hope your experience has not put you off using Fitch 7city Learning in the future. We strive to improve our material continuously (we have just developed a CFA mobile app) and will continue to do so.
All the best for the exam.

Thank you for following up and I apologize if my comments were unfair (I think that the Grinold-Kroner formula that I reference was in the answer guide). If you have read my other posts, you’ll see that 5 months of ignoring my wife and kids is taking a bit of a toll, and I suspect that I am not the only candidate going a bit “squirly” these days.
The issue of typos and inconsistencies applies beyond the mock exam, but I will follow up with you offline (although perhaps not until after June 1st).
On the whole, I believe that 7City is getting many of the “big picture” issues right, but details matter – especially as the number of days until the exam gets into the single digits.
