Elitia Im impressed…
unbeliveable
but this stuff will not be tested. right? they are not in the learning outcomes even though they are not optional either.
It’s up to you to do whatever you want with this list. I believe one of you requested this list in April but the list wasn’t complete at that time. So the list was deferred until now. I really don’t know if CFAI would test on any of these. But these topics either belong to the non-optional reading or they have been covered by the practice problems. So do whatever you like with the list, but keep the time constraint in mind.
If it isn’t in an LOS, I would say it won’t be tested.
Great work eltia. At this point I will probably only worry about the FSA/equity related ones but if it wasn’t testable, they would have put it in the optional section/wouldn’t write practice questions on it.
I have no any power to look at CFAI books for these topics…
Thanks for posting this…this would of taken me longer than two weeks
