Default What to take after MLC: MFE or C?


Okay, now that MLC is done for some of us, what exam are you taking next? If you already passed these exams, which do you recommend?

Having the FM knowledge (finding present values!) definitely helped lead in to MLC. Does MLC logically lead in to one of the other two exams? Thanks!

I would say C... but only because you get instant pass/fail results for C now, and for MFE they won't have that option available until next year probably

Not really. MLC, MFE, and C are completely independent of each other, so it doesn't matter in which order you take them. People typically take both M's then C, but some people jump to C because they are already familiar with the material, etc.

Hopefully with the PAKs, the instant pass/fail won't be necessary.

MFE won't have PAK anymore since they're computerized. MLC's the lone holdout.

Still don't know what the pass mark is though. I've got 18/30 on the PAK...
