Fall 2010 MFE Progress Thread

[Twitches]

Too soon?

[SandbagQueen]

Nah, the Spring 2010 progress thread started shortly after the Fall 2009 exam. And by someone who actually passed (but was borderline so looking for something to do to pass the time).

Just don't start a 'edit' progress thread. That was lame.

OK, so I've read through all of the material and get the theory. I've worked about 400-500 practice problems. What's next?

Drill the SOA problems to death. If the problem is on a call option, do it again with a put. If the problem doesn't have dividends, try it again with dividends. If you can do that, then you're really ready. I believe a good number of the problems on the exam this past sitting were just variations of the sample problems. If you knew those inside and out, you could easily answer the exam questions.

They needed to relax with the puts.

171 days to go. I'm starting tonight.

Are there even such things as Calls? I sure didn't feel like it after the exam.

#3 had calls in it

So did the big binomial tree problem actually.
