The old university habits are the same, although the marks are decidedly better. Taking extra courses through the Canadian Securities Institute – for amusement, mostly – demonstrated that I have not broken away from the habit of cramming over a few days, rather than following a graceful study plan over several weeks.
At least completing the textbook readings hours before the exam doesn’t seem to do me much harm; I passed both my Canadian Securities Course (last year) and Derivatives Fundamentals Course by a comfortable margin. It’s important to note, however, that these are multiple choice exams. I’m sure I’d struggle a lot more if these were short answer exams!
Let’s not dwell on my poor study habits too much, though. A huzzah that I passed!
