Does this mean we can expect no questions on Darcy/Dyer's Ratemaking A financial economics approach as it will be deleted by December?

Anyone think this is a safe bet?
:duh:

No it doesn't. Darcy/Dyer is on the syllabus this year, so it will have the value attributed to it this year. You can take the chance if you want, but I don't recommend it.
