Practice Questions for second half of book 4 (valuation and risk models)

[Pflik]

Are there going to be practice questions on the second half of the book i.e. Caoutte, Servigny, hull (risk management and financial institutions), jorion (value at risk) and the basel excerpt?

I'm wondering since this is probably the only book that has a lot of chapters that are not covered with practice questions (historically)

Hi Pflik - Not before the upcoming exam (of course), however, as soon as we vet the 2014 (draft) syllabus, we make some decisions about those currently uncovered readings. We expect Part 1 to experience low (even very low) assignment churn. If that proves true, it's a trade-off:

• on the one hand, if the criteria is to develop questions for currently uncovered readings, then we can easily cover them.
• on the other hand, some of them exhibit might continue to exhibit low testability. Historically, we've double or triple-covered certain highly testable assignments, rather than cover "weak" assignments. (Of course, my preference is that GARP tighten the syllabus rather than over-assign ... is a key focus of my input to them). Thanks,
