BFC5935 Portfolio Management and Theory
Mid-Semester Test [MST: 20% Assessment]
Date: WEEK 6 TUE 3PM [i.e. Lecture Day & Time]
Note: There are no lecture & tutorial in Week 6
Week 6 Pre-MST Consults scheduled will be posted
[W6 Consults are different from Regular Consults – All will be moved to day(s) prior to the MST day]
Duration: 60 minutes
Format:
Closed-Book Test
5 Multi-Choice Questions (MCQ: 1 Mark Each)
4 Short Answer Questions (SAQ: 5 Marks Each)
The result on Moodle will be out of 25 marks
Coverage: The MST is based on Topics 1 – 4 (i.e. up to Market Efficiency)
Important Notes:
▪ There are more conceptual questions than calculations.
▪ Everything covered is examinable.
▪ There is no sample paper as this is an online test. In any case, as emphasised throughout the
semester, if you have been consistently studying and have a solid understanding, you will most likely
do very well.
▪ You can practice using Tutorial Qs, Lecture & Text examples. Given that the majority of the Qs is
conceptual, it is important to have a solid understanding of each topic.
▪ You are encouraged to answer in bullet points (the answers still need to be complete sentences).
▪ For Variance / Standard Deviation calculations, the question would specify whether to use
‘n’ or ‘n-1’.
Examples of typing calculation answers on Moodle quiz platform:
Calculation: You can type:
100 = 121
(1.10)2
100 = 121 / (1.10)^2
(i.e. using ‘/’ for division and ‘^’ for power)
7 = √49 7 = 49^(0.5) [Note: if it’s cube root, then it’s ‘^(0.33)’]
