while reading i thought the following. 1 being the most difficult
1) Derivatives
2)Fixed Income
3) FSA
The rest I thought were the same in level of difficulty.

I think Derivatives is hard b/c it always ends up being the last thing everyone studies and we are all burnt out by then…

 

[Hello Mister Walrus]

It depends. Derivatives was one of the easiest for me, since I deal with them in my job. Accounting was probably the “hardest” since I’ve never taken an accounting class.

If someone who had no experience with any of the topics were to rate the difficulty of the subjects, I would think it be like this…
Derivatives
Fixed Income
Economics
FSA

For those who have no accounting background FRA can make you pull your hair out.
Derivatives and debt at Level II is where the party’s at

by now you must’ve realized to each person his own.
what so called “smart, articulate, educated person” depends upon other’s level of difficulty to decide your strategy for this exam?

Damn, I was just going to ask a bunch of strangers to do something they don’t particularly feel like doing and then call them dumb when they don’t respond in the manner that I wanted them to.
… but someone beat me to it.
People on this board are perfectly willing to help out when asked. Being condescending and demanding however, probably won’t get you as far. Not disimiliar from real life, which I am sure you excel at.

OH SNAP! *golf clap*

FSA, I didn’t like the layout of how they taught fixed income. It felt like a backwards way into the topic.
