Lam second edition

Hi, I just realised the second edition on Lam will be used for the 2015 exams, but I haven't bought it I still have the first edition. Should I get worried and deregister?

Are there any big contextual differences between the two?

 

Hi, I'm trying to understand how the syllabus has changed since last year, so I can identify areas that I may not have studied as well as others due to the lack of relevant past paper questions.

I've read the CMP upgrade note and it says:

"Extensive changes have been made to the notes, particularly to Parts 1 and 2, to incorporate the new required reading in Lam."

Simon, you've also said:

"The new edition has been substantially extended and much of this now forms part of the required reading."

I've only read the latest edition of Lam.

Would it be possible to give us a flavour or high level summary of these changes, please?

Thanks

 

Also, is the new LAM edition a second edition?

 

Thanks Simon

 

Can anyone list some key themes/topics in the new edition that were not in the first edition ? Thanks.

 

From what Simon is saying, I think it's basically the last section on ERM implementation. From the past papers it feels like ERM implementation has always been on the syllabus and is frequently examined. However I think the new section brings it to life more and articulates it more specifically.

 

Thanks Rob. I would have thought so.

What initiated my question was that I was more worries about if the new edition includes some specific, "hard-core" contents such as "7 lessons learned" which needed to remember by heart.

I totally agree that some implementations should be covered by the notes, other textbooks, or just by common sense. For example, one of the past paper about "whistle blowing", one doesn't need any Lam's

 

Thanks Simon, to be more specific, which chapters from the second (yellow) edition should be a point of focus?

 

What are chapters 23 and 25 about?
