Blue Box Examples to not miss? guidance, examples, important, therefore

DoubleDip

I have run out of material to study -- I have not yet done the blue box examples, and i don't want to go through all of them because it takes too long.

Any guidance as to which ones would be considered particularly key? I'm sure they are prob all important, but undoubtedly there are those that you have come across more than once on sample exams and therefore would consider more relevant.

This kind of goes along with the "important EoC" thread, but i found when i went through the EoC that there was quite a bit left out, that i presume was covered in the blue boxes.

I just went through all the blue box examples looking for unfamiliar stuff. I ignored everything I felt I knew. It only took me a day or so.

I am doing exactly that these days... Scanning the ones that look familiar but spending some time on the ones not covered in EOC.

Vol 5 esp. Derivatives part has many blue box examples that don't get covered in EOC

Singer-Terhar(SP?) in the CAPM section was unlike any EOC.

I'm in book 5, too much informatiom there.need a day to scan it all...some asset allocation, equity, swap, monitoring example are good. Examples could be mostly helpful for PM, IMO.

there were the blue boxes that tested use of options to reduce effective annual rates on loans. they do examples where you use calls, puts, and are both the lender and the borrower. this showed up on the sample exams and there was not an EOC question on it. only the blue boxed

The Singer one and the options to adjust effective annual rate i actually picked up through schweser. I have a feeling most of the nasty stuff not covered by EoC lies in book 5 and 6

Hey guys, could you tell us where Singer-Terhar section is in CFAi and the blue box example? Remember wanting to come back to this topic but now I can't remember where it is (or what it is...) Thanks!

have a strong feeling they are gonna test that.
