Hey I just started off with my prep, hopefully should not take too long. All the best to you for 18th. May be you can share the formula summary once you done with it. Sounds helpful

Hi,

I got my exam 2 results, and I managed to clear it. I would like to share some views with regards to the paper which might help the exam takers in their preparation. Around 40 percent of the questions were direct (non application based ) e.g finding the derivatives, slope , evaluation of integrals etc. Option greeks could be asked (delta/gamma hedging of options). Some simple questions on probability. Theoretical questions from regression as well.. Overall, I would suggest the exam takers to be familiar with the terms like MLE, OLS and their respective applications and area of usage. This would fetch you easy marks. Hope this helps. Happy Prep!! Thanks Risk Prep.

@Ngozie – please share your feedback too once you take your exam. And ofcourse I am be interested in practice questions.How can I get access? and I hope this is not against the bylaws

[Ngozi]

Not sure if its against the bylaw to share practice questions (not the actual exam question)…Mukul pls what do you think?

@Ngozie, thanks for offering the actual test exam papers, I would also be very interested in them if you can share? That would be great.

Hi, I did exam2 last month and the questions are a bit technical if you have no good foundation in Mathematics. However, using riskprep helped a great deal and please read the handbook very well (in and out).
At the end of the exam, you should know if you di well or not.
good news, I passed.

HI Omokeri, thanks for the information, could you explain what percentage of questions were purely mathematical and how many were application based like based on certain concepts such as covexity, gamma hedging etc? and how do you rate the difficulty level

I cant remember now, exam tension and all made me forget the questions…. However the exams are being pooled each time you write, So i cannot give the probability of questions.
but i remember i did not get any question on PCA.

Thanks Omokeri, could you tell if we need to concentrate on the excel interepretations given in the handbook for topics like regression analysis or excel interepretations are not askedin the exam.

Cheers!
