I would put exams 1-3 on a level 4 or so, 4-8 on level 5-6 I havent gotten to 9-11 yet

In all seriousness though, I used the same method with MLC and found it to work well. Ensuring you know the simple problems and don't mess up on them is vital. I took another PE this morning and made silly mistakes on 6/30. Knowing that I do have gaps in the material, I better get the ones I know I can get right correct. I DO NOT want to get a five. If it means that I put in too much time on certain areas and end up with a high score, I'll live with that and knowing that I could have had a little more of a life outside of studying. I don't want to give up an extra 6 months of my life due to me not giving it my all on studying right now.

Just scored an 80% on a level 5.97 exam and got boosted up to a 6.67.

I still over-think gamma (return on options) when it comes up. I think the first formula I learned with gamma equated C^-e(gamma) to S, Delta, Alpha, B, and r, so I'm always coming up with creative ways to solve for those instead of how the problem was meant to be solved. I spent about 15 minutes solving a problem this morning because I forgot the equation (gamma - r) = Omega(alpha - r). Still got the right answer though

26/30 on an unranked level 4 this morning.

I just took this one and got a similarly low score. Im doing well in Adapt but after the AB exam was very humbled. I'm hoping these are much harder than the exam.

What is your earned level in ADAPT?

ADAPT: stuck at level 6.73, don't think it will increase anymore
ASM 6th Ed : scored about 10-16 / 25 qs.

**I found released 2007 exam TOO easy. The SAMPLE EXAMS QUESTIONS, however, are really hard!

Count down: 9 days until exam!!!

dang, didn't realize those AB exams were going to be that brutal. Maybe I'll just work through them instead of taking them under exam conditions.
