Principles of Finance & Money & Banking Exams - marianne202 - 08-05-2009
Hey All!
I'm looking at taking these two exams for UL credit. I know I have read that money and banking is very hard, but I'm wondering if principles of finance is just as difficult? Does the material overlap at all? I was thinking about studying for them together and doing them the same day before the finance exam refreshes. I have had some basic accounting courses many moons ago as well as some business classes and studied for my Series 7 stock brokers exam. I took the pretests for both of these cold and got basically 35% on each. Does anyone have any specific recommendations besides the exam feedback and IC?
Does this sound plausible and possible without my head exploding? Thanks for any insight you can offer! I keep missing out on the chance to overlap exams and minimize my work, so I'm trying to plan ahead this time.
Thanks!

Money & Banking is an intermediate Macroeconomics exam, while Finance is a principles class in financial management -- more of a sequel to microeconomics & principles of accounting. I wouldn't expect much overlap. Doing both before Finance refreshes (end of August?) would make my head explode. With your background, Finance alone may be doable. Are you planning to take Macroeconomics? Do M&B after that.
