Ideas Wrote:I know the feeling!
I finally took my next Davar exam, Corporate Finance. I had about 48 hours where I didn't take one, which is partly because of confidence issues and partly burn out. I think my top mistake was studying for Earth Science and then worrying a lot about not passing. I still feel burnt out, but I hope I am back on track now.
I felt I was pretty well prepared for the Corporate Finance exam, but I did not really study the math. I was able to do most of the math, I think, but I know I will lose points there. If someone does not already know Financial Accounting or Principles of Finance, or has trouble with them, then you should spend plenty of time on studying the math. And I feel like the exam would be stressful if someone is shaky on math, because the amount is a bit overwhelming, even though there are many questions that aren't math related.
Overall Corporate Finance scared me more than I had to be. I guess the exam reminded me of the the math from Intro Accounting plus the concepts from Macroeconomics, but more business oriented. The "required" textbook is almost 1200 pages, so that is part of why it seemed scary. Eriehiker already said this, but the exam had lots of questions where you had to choose the false statement. Those were tiring. I felt that you really need to have a "fresh" mind going into the exam because of that and the math, unless you find math easy. For the false statement questions, know the slides! I am glad to have this behind me. I feel that Multinational Business Finance will be easier, and I hope to get that one done.
Although I decided to cross off one exam a couple days ago, I am behind again. I have 5 exams I want to take, and there are 4 days after today, although I have done a bunch of studying for 2 of them. I am hoping to get Meteorology done today.
How did you study for Corporate Finance? Were the slides and quizzes enough?
I might try this as I WOULD ideally like a finance concentration. Thanks!!!
