Please note I didn't say you can dispense with Hull reading. Other may have. I have always recommended the core (assigned) readings for any candidate, regardless of provider.
Is it my aspiration for the product, that you don't need, to achieve this? Absolutely. But it is still not my recommendation. Why? Candidates vary. Some can do this, but many cannot take this risk as the exam is difficult and they should seek multiple exposures.

Thanks for your response David. I saw your response in this post:
http://forum.bionicturtle.com/viewthread/300/
and the sentence that you'd view Hull as optional caught my eye. Funny, how you want certain things to catch your eye
Upon re-reading your response, you were probably saying "don't buy the latest edition" if you already have the previous (6th) edition.

sridhar,
my unmoderated forum is going to get me in trouble...I forgot i wrote that. you are detail oriented, this is a good sign for the exam I get many questions along the lines of "is it possible for me to avoid buying such and such a text?" and, in the case of Hull, what specifically bugs me about buying Hull 6th edition (if cost is > $100) is that the 7th edition is out any day.
"Upon re-reading your response, you were probably saying "don't buy the latest edition" if you
already have the previous (6th) edition. " That's true, I will happily concede this interpretation, I did just speak to somebody who own Hull 5th edition and, in that case, I said, the Hull chapters are somewhat stable that will mostly do as the Hull chapters are pretty stable even from 5th to 6th, so i said, with the exception of *Credit Derivatives* (the assigned Ch 21 but typo as Ch 13 in study guide) that is maybe "good enough"

sridhar,
Frankly, i did not realize the Hull chapters cannot be purchased at GARP's digital library. I just went there now and I see Hull sticks out as the one critical text where apparently the chapters cannot be purchased. Now i appreciate why this is coming up re: Hull....this is unfortunate esp as the 7th ed is technically in publication...I am going to make some inquiries but i don't know how far i will get...David

Dear Venkat,
I have seen both books of Gujarati. Basic Econometrics and the other mentioned in FRM's core readings, Essentials of Econometrics. I have analyzed that if you just study the appendices in Basic Econometrics book, you don't need to study the chapters of Essentials of Econometrics.
