Hello @riteshrr99 my advice would bet thisHi All,
Request those who passed the exam to guide on how to use BT. And how much hours they studied on weekends (assuming most of us are Employed). I think, I will give one last attempt this May-2017, and will like to score perfect score this time.
*Concentrate on doing BT's questions and asking the people on the forum with regards to anything that may not be clear. (I did this all the time). Furthermore, I would make notes of the questions that I found the most difficult. Even though you may know an answer, working through the logic step-by-step is still useful.
*Create your own sheet of formulas for each of the 4 main topics and construct notes around them. This may include the assumptions behind some of the formulas, or model classification as the model types for the interest rate trees. It may take some time but it is useful for revising the key points.
*Apologies if it sounds obvious but unless, its a new topic I wouldn't bother reading the syllabus again. Having said that don't do what I did and not take the current issues section seriously as the answers to November exam questions were not always obvious to me.
*On a lighter note, if you are like me and you are fond of beer, then cut it down to a minimal. I had to do this in the final couple of months leading up to the exam as it was turning my memory into jelly. Seriously I struggling to remember an awful lot of basic stuff.
I hope this helps.
Stephen
