NISM - VIII Equity Derivatives Examination is one of the toughest examinations in the NISM series. In order to perform well in the examination, you will need a good understanding of derivatives, it’s uses, and their operations. The passing mark is 60% and there will be a deduction of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer. 

One of my friends recently took the examination and according to him, just reading the workbook provided by them is not enough to perform well in the examination. You will need to practice numerical too. My friend used an app called ‘NISM Equity Derivatives See 8’. The app had around 500 questions and solutions. According to my friend it was quite helpful for preparation. 

There are no shortcuts for scoring well in NISM-VIII. In order to perform well, you need to have a thorough understanding of Indian derivatives segments.
