Anyone else thought that Secret Sauce was a waste of time

secret, doesnt, before

For level 1 it was okay. But in level 2 i felt that secret sauce doesnt cover much. The level 2 syllabus has a lot of stuff. Everytime I read the chapters I seem to notice new things which I missed before.

The SS said that under the all-current method, translation, that the Current Ratio would change based upon currency app/dep.

Thanks, i never remember any of the ratio movements, so much easier just to actually translate the ratios.

I thought it was a waste as well for the price. I think it’s worth $30. Not more. It’s a good reference to have with, but half the time you can’t find what you really want in there as it’s not detailed enough.
