Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 8%. What is the coefficient of variation for Stock A?
🎉
Correct Answer: C
Solution
C is correct. The coefficient of variation (CV) measures risk per unit of expected return and is computed as CV=σ/E(R). Substituting the given values: CV=8%/12%=0.667. A lower CV indicates less risk per unit of return.
Question 2
Medium
A 10-year bond with a face value of $1,000 pays an annual coupon of 6% and currently trades at $900. Using the approximation formula, what is the bond's yield to maturity?
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. The approximate YTM is YTM≈[C+(F−P)/n]/[(F+P)/2], where C is the annual coupon, F is face value, P is price, and n is years to maturity. Annual coupon = $1,000 × 6% = $60. Discount amortization = ($1,000 − $900)/10 = $10. Average price = ($1,000 + $900)/2 = $950. YTM ≈ (60 + 10)/950 ≈ 7.37%, which rounds to 7.4%.
Question 3
Hard
The spot exchange rate is $1.1000 per euro. The one-year U.S. interest rate is 5% and the one-year euro interest rate is 3%. A U.S. firm will receive €10,000,000 in one year and hedges using a one-year forward contract priced at covered interest rate parity. What is the approximate USD value the firm locks in?
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
B is correct. Covered interest rate parity gives F=S×1+iEUR1+iUSD. So F=1.1000×(1.05/1.03)=1.1000×1.019417=1.121359 USD per euro. Locked-in USD = €10,000,000 x 1.121359 = $11,213,592.
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 35 finance credentials with more than 40,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.
01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.
The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.
02
Free should mean free.
No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.
03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.
He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
