What to expect
Fifty questions written the way the Series 86 actually tests — not flashcards, not definitions with the answer in the stem.
- Financial statement analysis, including the quality-of-earnings adjustments an analyst makes before publishing
- Valuation methods and what each one is sensitive to — discount rate, growth assumption, and terminal value
- Modelling: revenue drivers, margin assumptions, and how a change in one input propagates to an estimate
- Industry and company analysis, competitive positioning, and the macro inputs an analyst has to justify
- Interpreting ratios and returns — and knowing which comparison is meaningless without an adjustment
