NISM series 8 equity derivative exam experience

Hi friends am sharing my NISM exam experience is because i couldn't find any good website in internet to guide me when i was preparing for the test, So i thought of writing my experience which you can use as a reference for your preparations.

for registering seat to write NISM exam go to the official website https://certifications.nism.ac.in/nismaol/homeplatform.htm


I wrote my NISM 8 series exam at kochi on 8/9/2015 , i was bit worried that day regarding will i pass or fail. after entering in the examination center the examiner verified my id proof with printed copy of admit sheet. 



The screen for online test will look like the below shown image


                                                                                                                                    

For me 40% of the questions was regarding put & call option and forwards & futures ,questions asked were moderate type and numerical questions was not at all complicated as i barely had to touch on my calculator.

  • i saw few questions asked from the soft copy textbook Appendix A: Sample Questions section.
  • the soft copy of  work book received should  be studied thoroughly before writing the exam. for downloading work book for unregistered users go to the website  www.slideshare.net/asraniaarti/nisms08-a?related=1
  • there was no out of syllabus questions asked
  • you can practice mock test in NISM  website https://certifications.nism.ac.in/nismaol/homeplatform.htm
  • i also find the below website very use full  for practicing http://www.modelexam.in/exams_new/index.php?exty=demox&um=guest&fm=n&bal=0&newexamid=edce

finally in the exam i had attempted 99 out of 100 questions asked and got 80 right, 19 wrong answers and 1 unattended. totally i got 75.25% mark  after reducing the negative marks for wrong answers.
thanks & best of luck.
