I cleared #NISM Research Analyst in "10 days", with no prior finance knowledge or experience. Read how? ⬇ So, once I was done with my nerve-racking, breath-taking 👻 MBA entrance exams, I was curious about the domain I would choose for my master's, So I decided to try various courses and exams to get a gist of various domains. (I still am.) One of them was NISM's #Researchanalyst certification. I cleared the exam with 75% accuracy in only 10 days. Strategy:- First of all, I registered for the exam, so that I could have a set date in my mind to haunt me. (very important to bind it by time, some people prepare for this for more than 2 months) Then, I downloaded the workbook provided by the NISM (no coaching), I can read very fast with accurate comprehension (A skill I developed while preparing for #CAT, I even read 40+ books 📔 during my 2nd year) I had no prior knowledge of conceptual finance, except that I was in the learning and experimenting phase of my #stockmarket 📉 📈 journey. I read the 270-page book in 5-6 days, then practiced free questions online on the NISM portal and random websites. And for the last 2 days, I revised the whole syllabus twice (again speed read) and gave some mocks online and appeared for the exam freely. Things to keep in mind 🧠 for the exam: 1. Carry you PAN card, application, and a water bottle. 2. Be very chill and calm. 😌 (I know easy to say, but I also went through CAT, NMAT, SNAP journey) ** I have posted my certificate in a previous post.
