    Hi all,

    I am preparing for coming AFM exam. Everything is seem to fine for me but I wonder which question I should attempted first when taking the exam – 50 marks or 2 question with 25 marks each.

    Because the 50 marks question will be very intensive and take us a half of time. There will be only 90 minutes left to complete 2 remaining questions while in the first question we maybe perform not really good. The pressure of time and our fear can make us down. So much information need to be processed. However, 50 marks question take a significant mark in our result and could be included some easy marks such as NPV calculation, DCF, hedging,… but also take time to present and calculate.

    Thanks in advance for your advises.

    My opinion is subjective but I would prefer to take first 50 marks question as
    1) the question is very complex
    2) you need to be fresh minded to fix all the routes

    Any question you will take you need to manage your time to give 1.8 min per mark.
