structural form vs. reduced form model

What should we explicitly know about each of these two credit models for the exam? I formulas seem very complicated.

What does the LOS say?

At this point, you absolutely understand each model’s assumptions, advantages/disadvantages, etc. Formula aside, you need to know how to describe what each model really is.

Id say a week before the test don’t spend time on the formula, but I would guess that we should 100% expect a qualitative question or two on those models.
