Blog about my experiences with OCMJEA

[Aditya Kumar]

Hi,

I passed the OCMJEA earlier this month. Before my memory got stale, I made it a point to write about my experiences with the OCMJEA part1/2/3. I have written about it in length and these are going to be "longreads". The links redirect to my blog.

1. My experience with Part-1.
2. My experience with Part2/3.

Please feel free to leave comments here. You can also email me via my blog. Hoping this helps all the other aspirants. Good luck!

Best,
aditya

Couple of things I disagree with your viewpoint.

#1 You mentioned that the assignment may take months or several months. I disagree. It should not take more than one or two weeks if you are prepared and experienced. Understanding the problem is the key, solving it the right way should not take long.

#2 You should be prepared well before taking the essay exam. You should not be writing till the end. Short and crisp but effective writing should get you there.

Thank you everyone for the wishes!

Amritendu,

#1 My assessment was that the problem understanding and the documentation of the assignment should take a month (or months). I believe there is no single set timeframe one can achieve this in. If someone works on it 9-10 hours a day, the whole thing can be done in a matter of weeks. But I do understand what you are saying and I will make it clear on the post with an update.

#2 As you said, short/Crisp writing should suffice for the essay exam. I will update the post to reflect that. About the preparation I only meant to say that immediately after you submit the assignment is the time when you are best prepared to give the essay exam (compared to, say, taking a break of a couple of weeks and then giving the essay).

Thank you for your comments.
