        Great analysis, thanks! It’s definitely all about the IPS. Looks like other topics have a fair degree of volatility…

            Yeah. 

            Not sure how much use it is, but for me it reinforces the importance of getting PM Individual & Institutional (+behavioural) properly squared away. 

            Ensuring I can fully (and quickly) articulate answers to questions within these topics (IPS etc) will be my personal focus in the lead-up to the exam.  My handwriting is dreadful so being able to keep things concise will, I hope, help me (and the person marking my answers).

              @Arbitrageur I actually performed a more detailed analysis of the “type” of questions which produced some interesting results.  

              Basically there are only 5 or 6 areas which appear consistently (comprising ~15% of AM exam points) while the rest is scattered across the rest of the course material in no particularly logical or consistent manner.  I even looked to trends/cycles; sure enough those building the exams were clever enough not to leave anything reliable there to work off.  

              Now we are counting down 60 days to exam it’s time to crank up the study and (hopefully) kick some arse <span>:smile:</span>
