Looking for the best study materials for Course 2
I know these are the 3 textbooks in the Course 2 Syllabus:
Principles of Corporate Finance, Brealey
Price Theory and Application, Landsburg
Theory of Interest, Kellison

Also get the texts and read them. Especially Price Theory and Corporate Finance.

Without a doubt, CSM. I used the CSM in combination with the texts.

i would suggest the csm study guides just for the large amount of old questions. i used the temple pack for interest theory and finance. i found the interest theory one was really helpful as i never learned any of that material before. i learned most of the stuff without having to refer to the text too much.

i also highly suggest reading the micro and finance books. the micro is fairly easy to follow. corp. finance may seem too much at first. i skimmed it over in the beginning because i was falling asleep so much whenever i would read it.

but later i went through each chapter and took notes. it actually wasn't too bad. i got my score report today and got a 10. if i had just used the temple finance study guide alone and the csm outlines for the finance part i don't think i would have done as well.

Everyone seems to be saying the csm manual is very good along with the texts. And that the micro study note is terrible. What should I use to study the macro part?? I heard that there is not a lot of macro questions, like only 5. Is there any truth to this??

Thanks.. :roll:

The texts and the CSM manual get my vote as well. Get the CSM Supplement too though - its full of problems and doing lots of problems is the key to passing. There are usually 7 or 8 Macro questions. ANY study manual is better than the Wachtel study note. But frankly, I would concentrate more on old exam problems for the Macro because there is a lot of material but they seem to ask a lot of the same types of questions.
