Derivatives

[boost]

Is anyone else feeling nearly completely lost on the derivatives section?
I’m ok with the Greeks, but other than that I feel totally lost.
On QBank, I am done 86% of the Qs, and have an average score of 79% (including basic, intermediate and advanced Qs). On Derivatives though, I’m at 62%. I’m worried about failing L2 because I have such poor knowledge of Derivatives.

It’s tough - I’m more lost than you based on those scores…

I was completely lost on derivs last year (I got to know the basics and that was it). But I ended up with between 50 and 70 on that section (not the reason I failed) and I was happy with it.
Maybe you should try understanding pricing and valuing forwards/futures (it’s really not that hard, time value of money concepts). Understanding the basics will get you a couple of points.
In the end, if you know the other material, and it sounds as if you do, then you’ll do fine.

Infinitesun, what’s your strat? Any special memory tricks to remember the massive amount of equations?
