Early this year I came here to Wharton for my interview. I also sat in on Professor Percival’s Corporate Finance class. It was a very interesting class about balancing risk with your portfolio, etc.
At the end of the class he talked a little bit about the final coming up. He said that it was open book and that the students will have 3 hours and 3 hours should be more than enough time to take the exam. He mentioned that he would ideally have the exam without a time limit but then again, “the idea is not for you to sit here and learn the entire course while you’re taking the final”…
My OPIM exam is tomorrow. I thought I was pretty good at this stuff until the past couple of days when my brain suddendly decided to stop functioning whenever I came across an LP problem, sensitivity analysis, simulation, etc. For some reason I feel like I’m going to have to learn the entire course tomorrow while I’m sitting there taking the final…crap.

You won’t be alone. I’ll sit next to you and we can learn it together. I still look for a light source and a dark, dollar-shaped spot on the ground when anyone mentions “shadow price”.
