MPC you are right. But when you practice the ERE a thousand times b 4 the exam you just want to complete it regardless of the time it takes.

[lemmediWHAT?]

wow dude, that is impressive haha however, I don't recall q4 as being one sole question but rather some part e) in a random question. I think you are only missing the question with 2 bonds, HQ and LQ and default and calculate VaR, CTE and the coherence of these risk measures (something like that), and I think tested the credit default swap as well

The HRO question, for your information, tested the integrative RM framework

this is not good strategy.

I understand people do get into this sort of thing, but if you want to pass the written exams, you cannot waste time on overdoing problems.

At least there are more questions this time (compared to only 10 questions last time).

Oh yeah...forgot about that. Now that was also time consuming. I knew how to do it but time was going so I had to leave it. Never got back to it.

Q4: List 10 criteria for ERM. Apply to Z. (not sure)

I didn't realize they wanted us to list the 10 criteria for ERM and I knew the list. They asked for 10 things that the rating agency could discuss with Zoolander. I guess I should have thought they meant the 10 criteria but they didn't specifically ask for it. What bothers me the most is that I knew the list.

I thought that question was more, "With regards to ERM culture, ERM controls, and Emerging Risk Management, give 10 things that S&P might want to talk about."

So I gave a list like: Executive compensation, underwriting audits, etc. I didn't think they wanted the 10 ERM criteria.

[lemmediWHAT?]

There was no such question as providing 10 key criteria, you are correct, I did the same.

The only part you could write about those 10 criteria, was the question asking for 2 BoD roles and responsibilities, you could then put Evaluate the effectiveness of the ERM program, and this is then supported by evaluating it against the 10 key criteria.
