Falling Behind During TTS

Hey everyone, incoming FT at a BB-- basically just wondering how important the TTS scores and everything are-- and the TTS teachers keep saying they share "the scores to the firm". I'm behind and want to know if I should be really caring too much.

I'm only behind on the autograder things while taking my series exams. I have one exam left and my TTS finishes this Friday, so I basically ignored TTS work for series prep. I have good modeling experience (full 3 statement, LBO, DCF, w all the paydown circularity etc) from before and not worried about cranking these out but just am simply more worried about the series exams and I'm just being lazy w/ figuring the models out.

They say you need 80% or more for the autograder things to count-- but I'm behind on them and don't have those scores. 

My group that I'm joining is slammed and some of the second years left, so I'm guessing this stuff isn't their biggest priority yet I don't want to be below average or be seen not to care if they see it. At the same time, I'm not sure if this stuff is just sent to HR only and it doesn't actually matter and I can just ignore it.

Appreciate your help!

Don’t stress it, but definitely take some time to complete the TTS modules.

These scores are not indicative of how you’ll perform on the desk but they will be shared with HR who then shares them with your group. They will most likely rank your scores among your analyst class and place you into buckets based on your scores. This will then be disseminated within your group and to your seniors.
