CFAI Interview

Can’t get the video to work - any juicy tips?
 
Very good insight about how to use the model answers (just 1 of three possible points to get full credit). Institute should give more info about grading matrix similar to Schweser that would save a lot of lost souls. Correction about 12 questions was really odd, last time it was in 2005, 2006 and 13! in 2004.
 
Ya I would like to see how credits are given in essay questions too.
If i understand correctly, if you “determined” the wrong answer and provided a valid explanation, you still don’t get any credit right? You must get the “yes/no, agree/disagree” part correct before they even continue reading your answers?

that is how i graded my mock exams: no points for a justification for a wrong answer

I think you are correct because that just proved to them you don’t understand at all. But with formulas at least you get partial credit cause you could have just entered something wrong.
 
The question he discussed is in 2015 AM exam, Question 3, Part B.
I did not justify in the way he said it, but I said something similar (I said the non-callable bonds will have a limit due to the call feaure). I wonder if I would’ve gotten points.
