PS: is it even realistic that we will be asked to find the kurtosis? it takes forever just to punch in the numbers. I feel like they are more likely to ask interpretation questions… thoughts?

I agree – probably more interpretation than calculation. From Reading 7L Level I:
“explain measures of sample skewness and kurtosis”
So I doubt they’ll have calculation questions.

Imo you just need to know the interpretation of Kurtosis, not calculate it.
My CFA instructor at EduPristine told that in theory CFA L1 should be passable without the use of a calculator.
I have known people who have walked into the exam without calculators, so yes, that is true. However wouldn’t recommend it! 😉

Hmm. I’m not sure if they’ll ask us to calculate kurtosis. Usually, from the questions I’ve done, calculation hasn’t been asked but they focus more on asking you to analyse a kurtosis related question or maybe just a basic concept question.

Unless they updated this LOS from last year, you shouldn’t need to know how to calculate kurtosis. Just know what excess is, how to interpret, etc.
