Did you estimate your # right in the exam?

[PistolPt]

After every question I marked it with a CHECK if I am 90% sure I nailed it, and an X if I was any less than 90% sure. Many of those X's I was pretty sure of, but couldn't say it with certainty.

I then went back and added up all the checks, and about 40% of the X's to estimate what my score might be.

I think my results were 84 & 89. I am very scared.

Haha, Ya I did something similar. I marked a 1 next to the question if I eliminated the other two answers and was sure. A 2 if I could eliminate 1 answer. A 3 if I wasn't sure and had to completely guess. Then I gave myself a point for each 1, half a point for each 2, and a third of a point for each 3. Just using statistics if I my guessing was online with the percentages.

I got in the high 90's with my estimated scores, but I am pretty sure I probably missed a few I was sure I got right. So I adjusted it and gather I am in the mid to upper 80's, low 90's. That is total correct, not %

I feel good, but I am a nervous person by nature, I cannot wait to find out my score. Very scared

Dude 84 and 89? Chill out and relax. I started doing that but was running out of time.

Here are my estimates of Qs missed on both AM + PM:

Ethics 6
Quant 5
Econ 8
FRA/CF 20
PM 2
FI 4
Equities 0
AI 0
Derivatives 0

I think I missed around 45 questions. I know I destroyed the asset valuation section on both exams. So I figure I've got a 25 question buffer.

Interesting.

I would say as that i am unsure of the following :-

Ethics 12
Quant 7
Econ 12
FRA/CF 24
PM 4
FI 6
Equities 5
AI 3
Derivatives 6

Total Number of unsures = 79~80

Which makes my score ~160.

Now assuming, a worst case scenerio when out of every 8 not-so-sure answers, one is correct (in case i consider it as normal distribution, with a big samlpe size, i should be using the factor of 3 but let me be pessimist).

Total number of fluke-correct answers = 80/8=10

Which takes the tally to the 170 which is bit more than 70 percent in total.

I have included alot of fat in my estimates. For example, ethics. no way that i am doubtful about 12. I was only doubtful regarding 7-8, but no harm in considering worst case scenerio.
