Not to save time but because I’m so used to it from my prep. Thoughts?
Answering my own question since I can’t delete posts lol. From CFAI website directly:

- Common abbreviations and symbols are acceptable , but when in doubt, write it out.
Why you need to delete the post. I found it’s useful even I dont intend to use any abbreviation.
I’m sure using PV/FV instead of Present/Future Value is acceptable, but don’t come up with your own abbreviation like F&E for Foundations & Endowments or something else that might leave them wondering what the heck you are talking about.
