Last night I covered Balance of Payments which was a pretty simple topic. Stalla does not cover Econ in order, it groups what it feels is the best way to pick up the material. Econ is definitely a topic you can get lost in if you don't have a mind for it and I definitely don't. There's only going to be 1 item set on this so the amount of material compared to the amount of questions on the real exam are probably not worth killing yourself.

Tonight I got into Currency Exchange which seems to make up the meat of the material. I've seen most of this in my MSF courses but at least I got 2 months to pick it up and digest it in school. Trying to do so in 4 hours was quite painful!! Anyone who works with currencies or invests in them knows the whole quoting mechanism is very counterintuitive. Some of the topics towards the end were new but not too bad. Ben Jones covered it during the lectures and while he ranks 3rd on my list behind Peter Olinto and David H, he did a decent job. I'm going to see if I can find some videos on YouTube on some of the topics I had a hard time wrapping my head around. I'll post them if I find any.

The plan for the weekend is to do the quizzing tomorrow night on Econ, and then use the weekend to catch back up on Quant since I didn't get a chance to quiz too heavily on that. If I have time left over I may go back and redo Ethics as well. Goal is to take a progress exam on Monday to see where I stand after a quarter of the way thru the material. I'm starting to get back into the swing of things, but I know the next month or so is key with all the FSA topics coming.
