Basically look at past papers and problem sets. Use lecture notes to confirm formulas etc.

Lecture notes aren't that bad for asset pricing, the main formulae are all there. Corp finance notes are pretty poor, I agree with pedsdude- review all the problem sets/solutions.

Lecture notes are great for CAPM and risk-neutral/binomial models, but I'm struggling with the LT stuff at the moment.

there's so much material crammed into each topic in LT and a lot of it still goes over my head. Fingers crossed for some simple questions.

Yep, one of my friends who did the exam last year said he aced Section A but Section B completely f**ked him over, hopefully that won't happen this year to us!

From looking at the Lent Term notes, it seems there's a load of irrelevant stuff in there which is never asked on the exam.

the best thing to do with these kind of papers if to just do the past papers over and over and over until you know them off by heart! in fm300 they dont even give you any solutions so you better befriend some current 3rd years for their notes lol :smile:

Were you still lectured by those complete tools, Mungo & Tonks (I'm not even making it up...!)?

How these guys got a job at LSE, I do not know. Utterly dreadful.

Mungo did MT, Polk did LT.

From the few lectures I went to, I thought they were fine (particularly when you consider some of the other lecturers at LSE!).

Tonks was definitely the worse of the two. I didn't think Mungo was very good either (just about passable), but his attemps at being eccentric really wore thin.

You pussy holes need to stop crying about finance. I was worried about not getting a first, but hearing you wimps crying about a pass just boosted my confidence. Hope you all failed!
