Thoughts on ECMT exam (1 Viewer)

[myg0t]

That last regression question at the end stooged me.

 

[011]

There was a but of ECOP thrown in, wasnt there? Funky.
But yeah it was a bunch of tricky theoretical crap that no one bothered to memorise. Was there some form of autocorrelation? I thought we hadnt't covered that.

Multiple choice was very very tricky.

Finance Qs took me ages to do for some reason.

That's all from me.

i took long time to do MC, the MC is hard for me, there are a lot of theroies in the MC.............. and the last qs OMG............bullshit for everything.......................
i just hope i can pass the course ...............PRAYing,..........................

question 3 of section B (the regression question was really hard...i think i got close to no marks on that part). The multiple choice was kinda hard, but i thought questions 1 and 2 of part B were ok. Maybe i will just scrape a pass.

for Q2 in Part B, did u use present value table or fv table?

hey in that probability question in MC> the yes/no one about the dice being thrown and whether the game was fair.
Did you answer Yes or No?

i said no. but i kinda just guessed because i think i stuffed up my working

Agreed.




The game wasn't fair. I remember that question from year 12 maths I couldn't believe they put it in.


As for the annuity tables, you had to use present values.

 

[s.m.i.t.h]

do we just need to get an aggregate total of 50% to pass the unit? or is it 51%?

 

[kow_dude]

50% i rekn

 

[gibbo67]

i think the answer to the dice was that it was not fair, but the difference i got was not big though

thought some of the "which statement was false" questions were pretty dodgy, but the rest seemed alright - wasn't expecting those at all

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

i said the dice game was fair :|
i think im wrong. bummer

As for the annuity tables, you had to use present values.

I thought for the moderated R you had to use FV once (as well as PV). To find the future accumulated amount, then using that amount (at repayment whatever 13?) to find the new R.

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

yeah..and those multiple guess questions were uber duber hard :|

 

[stazi]

for 1 did you say it was descriptive
2 inferential

and the standard deviation question "none of the above"

 

[kow_dude]

the first one i said inferential....

i did not pick "none of the above" for any multi

 

[sarevok]

That regression question was shit. The rest was reasonable, I guess.

 

[sarevok]

I'm pretty sure for that moderated R you had to use present values...as in example 1)c in maths of finance lecture notes 3.
