Exam tricks - felt too easy/straightforward?

Glad to see some people with the same prespective.
I felt the majority was straightforward, and was starting to stress out thinking I’d missed some nuances.
 
For me it was quite straight forward despite few questions. Let’s if I am correct or not with my mark in 1 month.
Do you know when are the marks realized?
 
It’s an 8 week turnaround, right? So I think the target date would be July 28th.
 
I have noticed times where people who are caught off guard claim that something is a trick or a trap, but if you’re in the zone, you see where you need to go without noticing the speed bump. Hopefully, this is why a few of us didn’t notice the (supposedly many) tricks.
I did see some questions where it was an easy, easy trap (if you forgot to finish a calculation or didn’t complete the thought process). In my mind, this is more of an issue of being alert, rather than them trying to trick you.
 
I am liking this tricks/ traps theme. It is adding a new dimension to the discussion.
 
How did you guys find Alternative Investment set? Easy, Moderate or tough?

Going into the exam I thought AI was my strongest area, I just didn’t find the material that hard and also found it very enjoyable and interested.
On the exam it was tougher than I expected. There was one question where I thought the wording was a bit sloppy and for that reason even though I understand the concept 100% I’m not certain I got the question right, which bugs me. That was really the only question on the entire exam I didn’t like the wording of it.
 
I caught a decent amount of tricks. They weren’t traps really, you just needed to know the material and be comfy with the info they gave you. It was like L1, it looks gentle, but it’s actually ferocious. A couple times i thought “omg, this one is gonna crush a lot of people”. In the midst of everything, it’s easy to be to excited and not think deep on questions.
With that said, because of out-of-my-control-feeling in ethics and that “creative” vignette in the PM session, I may have failed. If it weren’t for those two “sensitive” areas, I would’ve been a lot more confident.
