MLC counts for cas 3L, I believe, so no need for both if that is what you are looking for

Well my thought process was MLC has been a B*&$# lately so I wouldn't want to solely take MLC.

I've failed 3L twice now. I've toyed with the idea of registering for both of them in the fall, just to have 2 shots at it. But $$$$.

Just started studying this week, only on lesson 2 atm.

This exam is probably going to take a lot longer than P, FM and MFE for me, since I don't really know any stats.

Just failed last sitting with probably a 5. I'll probably start looking over the manual in a couple weeks and then doing every problem I can find. I have ASM 10th edition 4th printing. Does anyone know if that should still suffice, or should I get the 11th edition?

Maybe consider getting Mahler's Stats and/or Mahler/Batten Practice exams... that is what I am planning to do for additional/ different problems. Helped when I took used Mahler for 4/C
