What financial modeling course did you use?

Keep pushing out gameboards with rules and your inferences.

Once you look at a gameboard(s) and think “damn there’s a lot of options for this one I’m not even sure where to start”.....move on to the questions.

It’s obviously nice to have all the boards filled out but most difficult games only allow you to get so far....especially double layer sequence games.

You read it as many times as you can until you can locate the premises and the conclusion and understand how the argument arrives at the conclusion.

What always helps me is knowing that there is only one correct answer and four incorrect answer.....not sort of wrong.....totally, categorically wrong.

Go back and reread the stimulus and try and find where one of your remaining answers is faulty. It’s there you just gotta find it.

Put it in your education section and just make a bullet point.

Something like this:

University of ABC, 2020

B.B.A Finance

GPA: 3.80

• Financial Modeling Certification (add a quick explanation of what it is)

This is more geared towards timing but I do the passages in this order: 2, 3, 4, 1

I leave the easiest passage for the last just in case I only have 5-6 minutes to do it. Helps to not miss easy points in my worst section.

I am trying to register for the November Flex and all I see are the actual test centers and I chose one that is close to where I live. Would this automatically change into Flex testing once I pay or am I actually stuck with the location that I choose. I know that the November test is flex but I am really confused because they let me choose the test center locations.

Yes it automatically updates

I believe the chances of there being a misc game is (5%.(/p)

The way the structure of the exam has changed, and thus how it is scored, would benefit high scoring logic game test takers unfairly if there was to be a misc game 4.

Easily the most difficult LR section I’ve ever taken....and I’m fairly good at LR. Average about -3/4.

Had to flag about 10 questions and eventually ran out of time.....which has never happened before.

I will be re-taking in November.

I have about 25 PTs left but will focus on reading comprehension on my non-PT days. I always let the hardest passage suck up too much time so I am going to try some different strategies and see what works.

As for the writing sample, do not spend more than 5 minutes reading the prompt and formulating your ideas. That leaves 15 minutes for each side of the argument which is not a whole lot of time. I literally finished mine with 8 seconds left. Still managed to type up something decent. Don't stress over it. Just make sure you don't have any typos, there is a spell check function.

In theory you could go into your test not knowing who the next president is and coming out on the other side extremely disappointed....so I would definitely focus on that lol

Confirm action

Are you sure?
