Wow they got here fast!

6 Volumes in total

  • Volume 1 is Ethics, Quant Analysis and Economics. SS 1-2 are for Ethics, 3 is Quant and 4 is Econ
  • Volume 2 is FSA. SS's 5-7
  • Volume 3 is Corp Finance SS8-9
  • Volume 4 is Equity and is the thickest volume from what I can tell. SS's 10-12
  • Volume 5 is Alternative Asset Valuation and Fixed Income. SS13 is Alt and SS14-15 are Fixed Income
  • Volume 6 is Derivatives and Portfolio Management. SS16-17 are derivatives and SS18 is Portfolio Management
Will definitely begin with Ethics in September and will skim thru it in August. I'd like to see what Stalla's L2 course recommends as a study schedule, the one I used for L1 worked out well for me.

The % weights are below. Ethics isn't as big as in L1, neither is FSA but it looks like Equity jumped up a lot. Good thing this is a strong area for me.
