Best way to revise derivatives?

CFA Level II Derivatives
#1

Derivatives isnt my strongest subject and i’d like to revise it in the best way possible. The CFAI blue box questions are just just too basic and i find the questions in mocks and TTs significantly harder.

What is the best way to revise the subject?

#2

EOC questions are a bit better, but we don’t have too many of them.

I also made flash cards and looking at them from time to time hoping to retain as much as possible.

I have 1 thing on each card, for the different strategies, bull call spread, collar, etc, plus listed together stuff about what increases/decreases duration, formula to value fwd, futures.

Thanks, Moosey. I think then i’ll just give EOC a second try

For me it’s a mixture of EOC, BBs, and flashcards.

Derivatives dont have much formulas ( comparing to FRA for example) but strategies using derivatives are a lot.

The best method is do exercises you have as many as possible to get skills.
