ST9 Oct 2011

If anyone else sat this exam - how did you find it?

I thought the question refrencing the Lam book was a bit of a stinker, I'd read through the whole book, but hadn't memorised every section...

If I fail I'm probably going to sit something else
(a) I'm not good at memorising that much stuff for an exam (its more work than an SA to be honest)
(b) probably just as cheap to take another ST as buy the new book etc

 

The second part of question 3 caught me off guard - lost a lot of marks there. I also could not make good progress with the calculation of the Var and TailVar in the last question - 8 marks... As usual, I ran into time trouble. Overall I think the paper was more difficult than the previous ST9 exams.

Does ST9 have the same broad pass requirements than other ST subjects, i.e. something around 50%? Or is the requirment tougher due to the CERA qualification that comes with it?
