DRW-Style Quantitative Challenge

Modelled on DRW's take-home quantitative challenge for trading analysts: six substantial questions in 45 minutes spanning probability, statistics, Markov chains, regression and game theory. No negative marking - the difficulty is in the working, not the clock.

Format

• 6 questions, 45 minutes. Seven and a half minutes each - these need real working, not reflexes.
• Mix reported by candidates: binomial closed forms, Bayes, Markov chains, regression, card-game strategy, logic.
• No negative marking. Answer everything.
• No going back. Budget your time per question - one long struggle can sink the sitting.

Sections

• Quantitative challenge - 6 items, 45 minutes, no negative marking. Six multi-step problems in 45 minutes. Probability, statistics, a Markov chain, a regression, a game and a logic puzzle.
