So after spending about three hours going through and organizing my packet of study notes yesterday, I realized that I don't have the derivatives study note. I wrote to the SoA about it and got the following response:


Dear Twig
It is the green booklet. Please check your packet again. Thanks

the green booklet ???

Perchance is the whole thing actually green, or is it like almost all of the other study notes: white with a green cover sheet?

At any rate, I was rather insulted by the suggestion that I lack the intelligence to accurately ascertain whether I received a certain study note.

Did anyone else not get that one? Just curious.

I thought that this one usually comes in a separate package. I did not get mine either, luckily I have a copy from last year.

It is not like the other study notes. It is actually a bound book, a little thinner than an issue of NAAJ.

Agreed. It's like calling IT about your connectivity and being asked if your network cable is plugged into the port.
