Hull - Assignment Questions

Is anyone trying the assignment questions from Hull? I've been missing them out since there's no solutions, but some look quite worthwhile...

Any ideas how I can check if my answers are right?
 
Get the solutions book :) (I realise that's an unhelpful answer though...)
 
Trouble is I think that there are two solutions books. One for the first lot of questions for each section and another for the assignment questions. I believe the secon is called a teachers book or something. I''ve got the former but not the latter. All in all a nice little earner for Mr Hull!
 
i mean the assignment questions, not the normal questions...

so there's a third book??

the one i have only has solutions for the main questions, not the assignment ones!

oh and on a completly unrelated question, what does "FIST B" mean? It's on the ST6 Acted File tabs...

And by the looks of it (at least from the publisher's website), you have to prove you're a genuine teacher / lecturer before you can get hold of that book. Maybe when Hull becomes the stated Core Reading rather than simply being the Core Reading that the examiners use even when the stuff in Hull is not in Core Reading (Rant, with the April bootstrapping question being on the top of my mind), Acted or the Institute should make sure that we can access both the student solutions manual and the Teachers one...

The Student one is available from Amazon etc.

On a cross-rant, surely they'll make sure this time's paper is slightly more "do-able" (whatever that means), though I did say that before September's paper and was wrong...
 
bah that's rubbish...(time to order one through the Gareth school of Finance...)

one thing that's kinda worrying me...i've gone through 90% of Hull and Baxter/Rennie, and now going back to the core reading, i'm like "WTF there's nothing in the notes...".

seems like the core reading might be best served as toilet paper, when compared to the actual content of the exams.

Click to expand...

Umm, it's the name of the course... "Finance and Investment Specialist Technical - B"

(noting that ST5 is "Finance and Investment Specialist Technical - A")

I guess I can see why you're worried about those "wordy" questions... ;o)
 
lol and i thought it was just called cerificate in derivatives.

i've found a lot of additional reading that makes the wordy questions a non-issue (my G30 report finally arrived from the States a few days ago...)
