Key facts examiners test from this unit

  1. Scoring = statistical creditworthiness analysis; Greenspan: banks' function is to TAKE risk; return = profit + risk premium.
  2. Risk map: fails to pay = credit; market prices = market; processing failures/frauds = operating; wrong strategy = business.
  3. Score anatomy: 3 digits, 300–900, max 900; 700+ = good with ~90% approvals; based on RECENT years' behaviour.

5 free practice questions — tap an option

Five basic questions from this unit. Answers lock on the first tap, exactly as in the exam, and a short explanation opens underneath.

Why (b): NOTIFY BOTH the bank (which fed the wrong data) AND the CIC (which published it) — the two-address dispute route that gets files corrected.
Question 5 of 5
Frequent loan applications in a short span hurt the score because:
Why (a): Clusters of hard inquiries and new accounts are classic risk markers — models read them as urgency for borrowed money.
