    Anyone here take CAIA? I am thinking

    The hardest part of the exam is the essay part on Level 2, but then again the exam/topics have changed since I took it. Sample questions are not representative of the exam. They are there to entice you to take the test... guys at AQR, Citadel, Caxton, etc probably place as much value in...
