Any sections people are taking chances on?

Hmm.. I always thought hypothesis testing made the most sense in that section. LOL @zee. Goes to show how we all perceive different sections differently!

@Franz, depending on the rate you try your practice paper, you should have some time to go through your notes or section of your notes that you’re weak on the last time before the exam. Agree with trying to skim read the remaining section and stick to your deadline to start practice papers.

If i’m really really desperate on time, I would probably do that to some readings like say the last 2 of economics (as i think most of the chunky stuff is on the first reading about FX).

But based on my limited knowledge about the exam, since there should be around 4 items on FRA, I would imagine you could potentially get 1 question from each of the 3 readings in study session 6 (Inter-corporate Investments, Employee Compensation: Post-Employment and Share-Based, Multinational Operations).

I know FRA isn’t easy but it isn’t as tricky as other topics, so we’ll probably just need lots of practice.

Quants is not a good topic to skip – the stuff in there is used everywhere!

Urgh hypothesis testing. I’m not a fan of that either.

@zee i think @diya could be referring to the 2nd study session in level 1 which is to do with all the hypothesis testing. As far as I could remember, i think that section is always in quants and never in any other topics.

I made a ‘priority list’ for the required readings and April 29 deadline to start the practice questions. So, whatever I don’t get done by April 29, I’m diving straight to practice questions.. At this rate, I think I might skim through ethics and the last part of accounting (i’m relying on my accounting background, so I put accounting 2nd from the last on my priority list) and just rely on my practice questions/exams..

Level 1. Somehow managed to neglect quants. I wasn’t studying in order and paid the price. CFAI forgave me.
Don’t recommend it though but there were some chapters I couldn’t get my head around and purposely neglected.
