Missing Materials P2?

[Esteban]

Hi Suzanne, hi David,

Could you please advice when are going to be available the Study Notes for Current Issues (P2)?

Furthermore, some aims and entire chapters are missing in the study notes for Credit Risk and Operational risk. Are they posted somewhere? Or can you please give me a short update when can we count on them?

Finally, I didn't find videos for any of the new chapters (P2. May,2013) on Credit Risk and Operational Risk. Please advice.

Since there is no much time left for the exam, I would really appreciate a prompt advice on this.

Thanks!
Esteban

Hi Esteban,

Current Issues notes coming soon. We have some videos coming, but we won't be nearly filling all the gaps by May. Given the impossible schedule created by the late release of AIMs, we are doing the best we can and tilting toward new practice questions. We will be posting content right up to the exam. I don't want to get into ETAs because it just consumes too much of my time (each time i respond to an ETA request, I create a new thread. If I miss, I create a stressful thread)

(I realize this is stressful from a gaps perspective, but you hopefully appreciate that we spend a lot of time bringing you constantly updated practice questions that can't be found anywhere else. The current P2 questions and coming revisions, in many cases, are the only such questions you can find anywhere on the topics. This 2013 May schedule is extremely stressful for me, too)

BTW, most of the new P2 material won't appear on this May Exam: the new components are too much for them to assimilate, in their entirety, on short notice; for example, the CVA introduced last year hasn't really assimilated into the exam body, the massive new Gregory Counterparty will be at least an exam cycle or more before it assimilates.

thanks,

I would also add that the current issues PDFs are freely available to download from GARP anyway (though quite lengthy). I was thinking of starting a few threads for members to give their thoughts on the key ideas from each PDF - will see if I get time.

Thanks, David,

That will be nice to let us know this. Really appreciated it. I feel that my schedule is a little bit tight and would like to focus on the most testable part. one question is, will the BT review from Nov 2012 be helpful?

Thanks a lot.
