Everyone fears what they don't understand. Learn the material and study until your eyes bleed, you pass. No one here knows how hard or easy the exams will be. I'm sure there was plenty of overhauls along the way and people were having the same questions.

Honestly, I don't think is going to get any harder than what it already is. Less multiple choice questions and more task base problems probably. They want to make sure that we know the material and how to apply it in real practice instead of guessing answers.

*task-based

it will always remain the same. people who willing to pass will always make it. no matter how hard they test you.

Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

I’m trying to get an internship next summer (I have the time off work) but am having difficulty finding internships for non-MBA master’s degree candidates. (I have a clinical MA and doctorate & it’s been an auto-reject from analyst internships.)

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you
