Guess you misunderstood the post - I know what percentages each book will be tested at.
I am wondering what specific LOS's people think we will likely see on the exam. Some will obviously not be tested. If you were to create a "Hit List" of LOS's to concentrate on, which ones would they be?作者: brainsX 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
They didn't test us on temporal vs. all-current last year, so I'd bet a large sum of money that you guys and gals will see that this year.
You can thank me later.作者: SFoyil 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
naaah...my money is on the new chapter- reading 44. Private Company Valuation. I am expecting one huge question on that.作者: sameeragarwal 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
Right - what fun would it be to write a new chapter & not test it?
I'm actually expecting readings 40-44 to be hit hard. The exam theme is "valuation" and that is what these readings are. The rest of equity is fairly easy with the exception of some of the EM stuff. Not to say the valuations are difficult; certainly more tedious though.作者: SpyAli 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
If I were you guys, I'd do a search from right after last year's test (in the midst of all the debate over questions, there were a few threads that listed the topics that weren't tested - I'd obviously slightly overweight those topics in my studies if I were you).作者: onelife1 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
Maybe everything. There I consolidated it for you Banj, haha.作者: mp3bu 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
I say CURRENCY CURRENCY CURRENCY. It wasn't at all on econ last year, which seriously surprised me.作者: random_walker47 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
Major FRA and Equity concepts such as the different consolidation methods, pensions, FX translations, DDM, FCFF/FCFE, RI and comparable company analysis. I'm not going to speculate on whether PE valuation will be on this year's exam, but you should probably know that too.

I'm thinking capital structure HAS to be in there; possibly mixed with a M&A vignette作者: tikfed 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08
I am expecting a vignette on Swaps and swaptions.作者: luda002 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08

Did they have one last year?
If they didnt then I think I will have to reverse my plan of skipping swaps...... 作者: MiniMe7 时间: 2011-7-11 20:08

I can recall at least a few swap related questions, I cant recall if it was a whole vignette.
