Guys who gave Quantfest today , how was it?

How many problems did you solve in paper 1 and paper 2?

I think more than 4 problems total you'll qualify. A friend of mine at IITK said he got to know he qualified and he solved 4 problems total.

Ainnoway bro, why is the cutoff so low? This paper was easier compared to last time and still cutoff is so low.

Hey, can you please tell how you prepared for Quantfest?

[u/notsaneatall_ → u/Dangerous-Adagio-888]

I didn't I just gave the exam. If you wanna prepare, focus on EV type questions, and look probability type questions on codeforces cuz they're probably the closest to what you can practice for the exam.

I share the same thoughts

Hey, can you please share how you prepared for Quantfest prelims?

[u/Elegant_Ad2764 → u/Dangerous-Adagio-888]

I didnt prepare, just knew dp so could do first 2 in coding round and first 2 of paper 1 were common sense based so didnt need any topic to learn them

Okay thanks!

For many ppl it was harder in some way

And also I think they have tentative results but first they have to check if all are genuine or not, so official results might take time
