Lol I'm 1 year in the industry and studied the topics in the Baruch QBA and Columbia MFE prereq self-assessment for about 3 weeks and feel good about only 6/9 🤦‍♂️
What are the 3 questions you didn’t feel good about
 
It looked like some questions were supposed to be straightforward but they looked difficult
 
Anyone managed to answer the question on Stochastic Calculus and the one on Matrix (linear Algebra) ?
yep i was able to crack that stochastic Calculus question. bit tricky though they presented limiys of integral in the negative x axis.

the matrix one was easy to solve but i think i messed up my calculation.
 
Was the sequences question wrong by any chance? I think they messed up the pattern in between. I still solved it assuming what the pattern should have been

wait I don't really see it - it was asking for a sum though? I could've misunderstood.

Right it was asking for the sum but if I recall correctly the terms shifted from n/(3^(n-1)) to n /(3^n) midway through the sequence.
 
what is the answer for the inequality question? i did not work out any solution among the given choices
 
anyone knows the answer to the inequality question? i work out a solution that is not among the choices...

I did (with a questionable assumption or bad math) and, apparently, none of the answers were correct 😅. There goes one I felt good about.

So from the email we all received today/yesterday. What do you think are the two questions with the typos
 
Series question yes, the matrix one matched one of the options. I am not sure which is the second one, all others seemed to have a matching answer.
which one was the series question ?

And you’re saying the typos were neither the stochastic question nor the matrix ? (That’s the two I found hard)..

for stochastic dont think there was any typo i solved it but i was also confused after seeing the options but they just inverted the integral from +ve to - ve
 
Btw will there be equal weightage for each question or it will be based on difficulty of the question? i think after they removed 3 questions probably makes sense to have a weightage based on difficulty to assess the candidate correctly.

Actually, I think the other typo was in the stochastic problem. I remember they put sigma * sqrt(t) in the bracket of ln, but I think it should be out of the bracket of ln? ... although I'm not very sure.

I also dont remeber the options exactly now but when i was solving i found the exact mathing answer.
