in reply to: Best Mock Exams for Level II/Elan 11th Hour Guide #78369Up::2Capital Market is a tough beast. My Recommendation would be to read through – Forecasting and Forecasting tools, In statistical tools. I would like – Excess corporate growth , Grinold and Kroner model, Singer and Tehaar ICAPM for quantitative questions. You should also pay very close attention to business cycle analysis, Inflation and recession topics. Trend growth components and economic metric tools are also CFA favourites. I would also like to read co relation of currency inflow and outflow with business cycles. Hope it helps
