Hey puys, I cleared lev 1 last december so thought il drop in some gyan and maybe soothe some nerves :).

1. After taking the exam, I didn't think I would make it. I thought I was borderline. turns out I truly was borderline :).

2. My results:
70+ :Ethics, Derivatives, FRA, Quant
50-70: Eco, Fixed Inc, Equities, Corp Fin, Portfolio
<50: Alternative Inv

3. My strongest subjects were Eco, Corp Fin, Equities and Fixed Inc. I guess they must have been in the high 60s.

4. I woke up on the friday before the exam and stayed up through fri and sat night all the way till sunday evening after the exam. I had thoughts about how it hampered my exam performance too but personally I think it works for some and doesnt for others so dont worry about that.

5. Like some puys here, I am an engg too and thought I had f***ked FRA after the paper. results showed otherwise so keep the hope up people!

relax and enjoy now. remember even if you dont clear, the knowledge that you have gained is not going to hurt you!

forget about the exam for a month or two now. what has happened has happened. All the very best for results.

generally how many people opt for operations....i've head that you are required to have atleast a certain number of people opting for it..or else you'll be not allowed to take that as a major specialization?

xactly i cant say becas we r yet on internship, we have filled our specialisation electives, they dint pressurize yet to change electives....we r free to choose what we want !!
