@diya you do seem super well read! So you’re currently working towards a PhD?

You’ll have to connect your Twitter account to this forum. I think you do it through your Profile settings…

Any gamble could be a reflection of risk/return…but I get your point.

So you only get the scholarship if you proceed with the Dallas course? In which case I say just go for it – the basic notes package is $350 and doesn’t include Q-bank.

Audio lectures didn’t work for me because after the first 10 seconds or so I just tuned it out…

I agree with @diya – 20 mins is OK at this stage, and I think the timing would also vary by topic. The item set format takes a bit of getting used to, but I promise you’ll adjust quickly as long as you keep at it.

Keep on practicing and don’t worry about timing for a while – the time pressure at this stage might be additionally causing you to panic as well. Check your timing again after about 2 weeks of practice – I think you’ll be surprised 🙂

Hey @Pranav‌!

Thanks for the feedback! We’ve discussed a similar topic internally for a bit. Our main concern is that if/when we do discuss tough topics, we want to do a kick-ass job at it, and that means we need proper tutoring experience and more resources. We’re not as experienced as say 3rd party tutors who do this for a living!

Having said that, we’re trying to free up resources to focus more on this. We’ll definitely take your feedback to mind and work on this going forward.

Welcome all!

@dan – that’s awesome – here’s to you becoming number 29! Does that mean you have to fly to another country to take the exam?

@Sophie thanks again. It helps to hear from a seasoned professional 😉 I’m not a math wizard myself, but I had vaguely heard that Fixed Income requires quant skills. Maybe they were referring to Quant Finance within Fixed Income or HFT X_X

I doubt they mean they need someone with a quantitative qualification, just someone who is good in math. Which is unavoidable in finance 🙂
