I found MLC very interesting. MFE was kind of lame, and this stuff is relatively dull as well. I guess it's a good thing I work in life insurance if MLC is my favorite prelim.

I find the material both interesting and boring. Interesting in theory, boring in application. The problems with the ri's and si's take so long to do and they are relatively easy...

MLC and MFE are by far the most interesting. C doesn't seem to have direction in its syllabus, just moves from one line of topic to another.
