[Adelaide]

Hi,

I was not able to...

Does someone order the book? Or is there any reference in Kaplan Schweser?

These readings are available in the GARP texts....you may be able to find them (individually) a bit cheaper on E-Bay or elsewhere online. I think it is pretty unfortunate the GARP is no longer selling individual readings.

I would also argue that (since this particular reading is introductory,) the material covered in this reading is probably covered in more detail in the Hull chapters (or elsewhere in the curriculum.) Furthermore, since it is introductory, it is probably not especially technical and therefore, not particularly testable.

That being said, I prefer to read every single suggusted reading, (and more,) so I can appreciate your desire to get a copy.

Good luck.

Brian

I assume that there could be some questions on theory (as this is what I heard about Nov 2013 exam). So if someone has the GARP books and could provide a copy of those texts, it would be much appreciated (of course I am also willing to pay a reasonable price). Thanks.
